curled up... on the sofa...
with your tail between your legs...
i won't pretend that i know you,
but i wish that one time...
i could get inside your head.

all the treasures that you're hiding...
and all your secrets never safe...
are adding up to lines of frustration,
i read it on your face.

you know i love you, even when you
run away from me
and i don't wanna chase you anymore.
so if you have to go away then
i won't make you stay...
just lie awake and listen for the door.

with a lack of direction...
with eyes sad and red...
in need of affection,
you wind up on my bed...

and all the treasures that you're hiding...
you know they're never safe with me.
won't let you be my god,
won't let you be my slave...
what else is there left to be?

you know i love you, even when you
run away from me...
and i don't wanna chase you anymore.
so if you have to go away then
i won't make you stay...
just lie awake and listen for the door.


*sigh*

aww... these are lyrics from a song by the burden brothers... i wish i could claim them as mine, but if you can listen to this song... the music makes it so much more poignant... it's one of my favorites...
