You don't know, so don't say you do --
|
You don't.
|
You might think that things will change,
|
But take my word --
|
They won't
|
You paint a lovely picture,
|
But reality intrudes
|
With a message for you
|
And it's real bad news
|
|
I was undecided like you
|
At first
|
But I could not stem the tide of overwhelm
|
And thirst
|
You try to keep it going, but a lot of avenues
|
Just aren't open to you
|
when you're real bad news
|
|
I've got love and anger
|
They come as a pair
|
You can take your chances
|
But buyer beware
|
And I won't
|
Make you feel bad
|
When I show you
|
This big ball of sad isn't
|
Worth even filling with air
|
|
And baby, let me tell you
|
You can get some things confused
|
Like whose secrets are whose
|
And that's real bad news
|
Real bad news
|
Real bad news
|
