It's a sorry
State of affairs
That only time can repair
I just have to
Cradle the strain
And wait for it to go away
Put in the work but the rewards are few
Doesn't matter what you do
And love isn't
Always enough
Expecting more is dangerous
I've always tried to be there for you
But now I'm hardly ever in the mood
I must confess I was too obsessed
With any way that I could please you
The disappointment has just set in
And your patience has been wearing thin
Broke off the elbow
That was already bent
I wish I knew where my backbone went
I've always tried to be there for you
But now I'm hardly ever in the mood
I must confess I was too obsessed
With any way that I could please you
I'll let you take the lead
So your ego can be freed
Why should it matter
What I want?
It's black and white and never grey
