I Don'T Think Tears Have Ever Come So Fast

And there it went again My eyes barely open Take it all in at once Hold a deep breath You can't do it You can't do it You never can So this is what you think of me A person barely holding stable I understand where you're coming from Just a little bit But the rest is just something undecided I guess Can you tell me one more time Just explain once again Why I can't be as you want me So perfect and normal Yet so mind-driven to the end And this is my life And these are your words Breaking my confidence I'm taking care of things much better now Not in the usual way But it's well enough To live like this day to day And when you and me conversate It's like nothing ever ends We blow up ugly words Burn the world with fire again I think every thing's okay now No need to go back there No need to drown the fire Out of us, ever again Written August 8, 2006
