Words and Actions and Reactions

If you really want to know,
And it haunts your thinking,
Follows you into the dark,
Well I suppose
You'll just have to wait and see.

Listen to my words
And forget what I do.
I never kick them out, I said,
I open the door and
Wait for them to leave.

But lately it's been different.
I found eighty-one reasons
I should let you go.
Even if every last one
Was because of me
(No, not really.)

Go on and be.
They've already been here
And left me this way.
One wrong move won't matter.

Ask again, I dared.
Ask anyone you want.
They'll say something different each time.
And every time, it's right.
They're all right.

Go on and pretend,
I like these games
And I told you so.
After all, I was the one
Who wrote the rules.

Don't be wrong.
I only take perfection, and
It kills me that we aren't.

So keep on,
Keep on with the tequila,
I hope it makes you sick.
Hit him back, save my life,
Waste away, you're already wasted.

Trying to be a country gentleman,
Is it enough?
Enough...for me.
Lies are very, unnecessary,
They only do harm.

Go on and cut me down.
I'll never build you up,
Never whisper what I mean,
Never forget.

Open that door.
Pay one more time.
Just don't call me,
Don't look at me, again.

I gave in and
Gave you one more minute.
Well, it's all just a whim.
It's all for my own strength.

Minus the baggage now.
Without the bell tower;
I've got to say -
It's the best time with you,
I've had with you yet.

Innocence is my specialty.
I'll tell you again.
Ask away,
Try to get to me, but.
You'll just have to wait and see.
