We Can Work It Out

We can work it out If not together And all else fails Than surely alone Without suffering the total and utter indignity Of our loved one seeing our tears of pain drain from our red cracked blistered eyes Whom will eventually trickle down either side of our uneven listening faces That cannot though best we may try to hide exactly how broken into countless tiny pieces in actuality it is Whilst still pretending to carry on regardless as if we do not have a care in the world And that's all well and good as long as it is day and has not passed over to night Because unfortunately sadly then when we eventually go to bed The realization comes crashing in that it is all but you and your head for constant company And the pair of you cannot for the life of you Work out anything as simple as 1 + 1 Without them never mind you
