AGAIN My ex-boyfriend has a house & a wife in the suburbs
My sister gave birth to a sister & brother
We all have more than we need, but we’re hard to please
I’m no different, though I wish that I was
I lack commitment. Everybody does
Still, I’m a sucker for the middle of thick & thin
I’m in trouble, but I don’t look the type
You’re resistant to my habit & hype
So, I am reaching for somebody else’s skin The flowers have died just out my door
Somebody spilled milk all over my floor
The winds & the rains are blowing each other down
I thought I was cool & unchaperoned
But I’m nobody’s fool. So, I’m all alone
I think I was warned, but I wasn’t listening
If you were a meteor burning up bright
I would open my eyes & my heart every night
But you aren’t. So, I won’t
That’s why I’m crying I’ve got some virtue stashed up my sleeve
I’m gonna bet it’s more than I need
But I’m still afraid of what I just might do
You said I was pretty. You said I was good
I listened close. I caught every word
Now, I scrimp & I save, but you give me nothing
If you were a saint with your cheek to God pressed
I could finally believe. I could finally rest
But you aren’t. So, I don’t
That’s why I’m running If you were a child, afraid & alone
I would bring you inside. I would welcome you home
But you aren’t. So, I can’t
That’s why I’m trying
I’m still trying
