They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control
They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that' s fading away
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't ewait, I can't wait, I can't wait...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
I said why, did ya ever even try?
infiltrate but never find
Just fallin' slowly
You left me so damn lonely
steppin' back to when we rhymed
Maybe recreate the times
You were shy but happy
And we were fine and dandy
Here we are again, oh
But backseat love don't move me
I'm just far too choosy.
Chorus:
Stop, drop, go through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better
Baby don't you ever wonder why
Back up, it's not that I think you're clever
I just know that we could do much better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why
I was never by your side
Sigh, take a deep breath and rewind
Bite your tongue and let it slide
Got to see a doctor
Maybe that will shock ya
Love don't die, no
Especially when it penetrates and leaves you blind
And shaking mad and reckless
Got you feeling breathless
Here we go again
The backseat love don't move me
I'm just way too choosy
I'm just way too choosy
Stop, drop, pull through, open up the letter
Don't you want to make it any better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why
Back up, it's not that I think you're clever
I just know that we could do much better
Baby, don't you ever wonder why
