You see it all started out
|
With the very best of my sincere intentions
|
So I thought anyway
|
But that day that we got lost
|
I could tell she had
|
Penetrated my defences
|
But I carried on anyway
|
And then the moment that we came I could tell we would
|
Never be the same again
|
More so anyway
|
Now feel the burden of my shame
|
As I try to make some sense out of this brittle life
|
Oh anyway
|
|
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
|
You could ever want or need or need of me
|
Anyway
|
|
So then they questioned all my friends
|
And tooth by tooth they extracted their confessions
|
|
So called anyway
|
Then they read all the books I'd read
|
And tried to link the authors to my known profession
|
They failed anyway
|
But then they put her on the rack
|
And they broke her perfect back
|
Into tiny pieces
|
|
She never talked anyway
|
Then they squeezed me till I cracked
|
And one by one I gave away all her secrets
|
Forgive me anyway
|
|
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
|
You could ever want or need or need of me
|
Anyway
|
|
And the words that I hear are the lies that you say
|
I'm not listening to you any more anyway
|
