lyrics

Jaclyn said to me,
"What people want the most is to be understood"
I don’t disagree, but all I ever got were
Expectations that rotted out like wood

My dumb, expectant face when you opened up the door
& you led me through the dark
I made the same mistake I’ve made a hundred times or more
I give away too much of my heart

It’s the stupid thoughts I think when I can’t sleep at night
I hope you’ll prove me wrong ‘cause I’m tired of being right
It’s a lie I tell myself
Another word that breaks the spell

Would you ever open up?
Do we ever show our hearts?
Do we ever truly love?
Do we ever, ever really love?

It’s the stupid thoughts I think to get me through the night
Like all I need is just one touch to make things right
Another lie I tell myself
Another word that breaks the spell
Another big lament
Desire turns to cement
Everybody leaves
