lyrics

I ask you for a simple gift
But you won't offer me a rose, well
Maybe that's just what I get
For accepting weeds for so, so long
 
And it seems that I have quite a silly habit
Of ignoring such things
'Cause if I don't, then that will mean I'll see
The worst that's in you
 
You soothe me with your slick wit
Belying with that warm sigh
Trying to melt all of my
Best held defenses
 
CHORUS:
But pray if you want to
Sway if you want to
Cry if you want to
Lie if you want
You won't get
One bit of my sympathy
 
What happened to the idealistic woman
With her eyes aglow?
Well, she is weeping for the death
Of her evaporated soul
 
She let it go because how could she know
It would be gone for good
If a sacrifice for trust was made
On the cusp of love?
 
You say it won't hurt a bit
It's nothing your first-aid kit
Can't cure but, well, that's only superficial
 
CHORUS

It's hard enough
With this commitment on my back
And this curse on my pen
It's hard enough
With a tragedy of advanced degree
Leaving me with nothing to defend
 
So I think I'll take a slice of disappointment
With my cereal and tea
In the hopes that it will make a better fighter
Out of me
 
'Cause this ain't a fight I can win
I don't have the energy to spend
And talking with you is a waste of words
Anyway

CHORUS (x2)
