So it began, knowing I'd dread
That ginger root, that fallen bed
It rots my stomach
I had a warning
I knew those words were coming,
com ing
That sore throat, my inner lion
Raised my head to the shuddered breath
Run into the night
Thinking, I could hear her
But it's a universal game we play
It's a shameful love
That could not but remain
I'm trying this back to back
Didn't want to throw it away
So here we go,
detangling our strings
Unraveling the mess, unrav eling
We're hollowed aside to see
The way we measure
Take things as if we don't need it
No one should know or see me like this
We are damage -free, oh,
we're damage -free
I heard no one could hear
I heard no one could see
But it's all the same for you and me
It's a shame for love
That cannot re main
You try to nurse it back to health
Do not want to throw it away
It's a shame for love
That cannot remain
So now I realize, so now I see,
so now I realize, so now I see
Don't I realize, don't I see,
it's all a lie
