How many times in a day Can I reasonably say I'm tired And how many times Can I try In my right mind To relight this old fire See I'm sitting in the rain The roof it blew away So many yesterdays And from the window pane I watch the children run away Quick like flames This is the game But I don't want to play I want to stay right here in my miserable state Don't go I'm lying I am desperate for change But I am desperate to feel safe And love is not the same as knowing About these dusty halls And these creaking floor boards And the sound it makes as you shut the door Cause you're tired of how I talk and talk and talk About how I'm trying
