"I faked it," you said, getting up from the floor- Another attempt to nullify the pain from the war With yourself in your mind With all the gathering fears, You drink Drano 'til it comes out of your ears But you know in your heart it's not right And you know in your heart that I'm right You said that he loved you, And now he has gone away But if love's just a literary construct, it's all the same But you've been doing your summer reading And going insane Alone for the day, But the worst of it'll pass away... The worst of it'll pass away before you know it We're playing this game that we cannot survive, And culture has rendered our actions contrived And you sit and you think 'Til you've come unwound But if you can hear my voice, Take comfort in the sound Alone for the day, But the worst of it'll pass away... The worst of it'll pass away before you know it You said that he loved you, But now he's nowhere to be found See, if love can build you up, Then it can tear you down
