Eggshells
You say you will, but then you won’t
Say you do and then you don’t
I’m running around in circles all the time
You tell me that you’re feeling low
Saying maybe I should go
Then the next minute you’re saying
You feel fine
It’s a catch twenty-two
Whenever I’m with you
I’m damned if I don’t
And damned if I do
I’m walking on eggshells
When I am with you
I can’t do right for doing wrong
You make the days so very long
It’s like I’m constantly trying
To swim against the tide
First a happy, then sad face
A simple word said out of place
Then suddenly it is 'pity poor me' time
It’s a catch twenty-two
Whenever I’m with you
I’m damned if I don’t
And damned if I do
I’m walking on eggshells
When I am with you
It doesn’t matter what I say or do
I’m always walking on eggshells
When I am with you.
