soon

i can't let you sweep me off my feet just yet

when they've only just landed firm on the ground

and i'm so tired of being messed around

you've watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess

so maybe you could wait for me

i'll do my best

to get out of this dreary place

i'll have to face this loneliness

i've been hiding my tears from my mother and she

she and my father still laugh together

see

i'd like to have real love someday

and i'd like to get past this heartbreak soon

i feel like i'm living when i smell of cigarette smoke

rich and bitter

and yesterday i couldn't stop remembering him

oh

what a waste of breath and time

i've been hiding my tears from my mother and she

she and my father still laugh together

see

i'd like to have real love someday

and i'd like to get past this heartbreak soon
