We are standing on the threshold
|
Of a decent conversation
|
When I can hear the door slam
|
|
I know the face you're making
|
And I really want to talk to you
|
I really, really wanted to
|
But once you get your mind made up
|
There is no getting through to you
|
|
For a while it was touching
|
For a while it was challenging
|
Before it became typical
|
And now it really isn't interesting
|
To see a grown man cry
|
To see a grown man cry
|
|
I'm lying on the sofa and the radio is blaring
|
And I'm scanning through the stations as the boys declare their feelings
|
But it doesn't feel like feelings
|
It feels like they're pretending
|
It's like they just want blowjobs
|
And they know these songs will get them
|
|
And I really want to talk to you
|
I really, really wanted to
|
But i have learned my lesson now
|
And you¡¯re not the one I'm turning to
|
|
And for a while it was touching
|
For a while it was challenging
|
Before it got habitual
|
And now it really isn't interesting
|
To see a grown man cry
|
To see a grown man cry
|
|
I was the first to warn you
|
I lay myself before you
|
I was the first to warn you
|
I put myself before you
|
|
We are standing on the corner
|
And you're throwing down the gauntlet
|
It is not a life decision
|
We just need to pick a restaurant
|
|
After all this, I should know you
|
Well enough not to get into it
|
I should learn, but I'm an idiot
|
You only want an argument
|
|
And for a while it was touching
|
It was almost even comforting
|
Before it became typical
|
And now it really is not interesting
|
To see a grown man cry
|
To see a grown man cry
|
To see a grown man throw a temper fit
|
To see a grown man cross his arms
|
And sit as if the whole wide world would end
|
If he was not a part of it
|
But at the same time with no confidence
|
Never realizing the consequence he's having
|
On the ones he loves
|
Because he thinks he makes no difference
|
|
We are standing on the threshold
|
Of a decent conversation
|
When I can hear the door slam
|
I know the face you're making
|
And I really want to talk to you
|
I really, really wanted to
|
But this time, I am giving up
|
I am simply giving up on you
|
