Once Again
Let the wind carry me away again
Maybe this time over the edge
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Keep it to yourself
I don't want to hear it
Not this time, never again
Your time is not spent well with me
If it is at all
This I cannot tell at times
So I can't be sure
But I'll take a risk
If a question is asked
It takes years for it to be answered
Then who knows still if it is the truth
It is just believed to be
It may take a minute for things to settle
But that doesn't mean it won't start again
The truth sometimes told
But always considered a lie
But I can't help it
Everybody has something to hide
I know you do
Because every time I look at you
Something changes inside
It's okay sometimes to not want
Even to not need
But it is confusing to tell the difference
Between people like you and things like me
But it usually works out in the end
Other times you just have to start over
Straight from the beginning again
