Today I am your chariot horse
|
Tomorrow I'm your albatross
|
Suspended by the finest thread
|
No one could ever see
|
And when there's breathing in your ear
|
You put your faith in all you hear
|
But just how deep those feelings go
|
I have no way to know
|
I'll never know
|
|
And if I was blind
|
Would you still be my eyes
|
Or hide everything you see
|
Pretending to care about me
|
When all the time
|
You're just wishing I'd fade away
|
You just can't bring yourself to
|
|
Say out loud the reasons why
|
You won't admit you realize
|
The promise you've been living by
|
Is just an empty shell
|
You'll come to bear it like a cross
|
And then start to tear it like frayed gauze
|
Though I'm ashamed to be afraid
|
I just can't help myself
|
Can't help myself
|
|
And if I was blind
|
Would you still be my eyes
|
Or hide everything you see
|
Pretending to care about me
|
When all the time
|
You're just wishing I'd fade away
|
You can't bring yourself to care about me
|
Please don't let me down
|
Why don't you care, why don't you care about me?
|
Cause I know all the time you're just wishing I'd fade away
|
You can't bring yourself to say
|
