you want me acting like you're just another woman
don't want to live outside this moment
with the serious things i might say to you
so you're just another woman
i'm just another man
we're not the last two people or anything
you never called me lover
i never gave you cause
it's such a sad strange shame, this drama, so
i'm gonna tell you the truth
honey or venom, i'm a conduit
i don't mean to be rude, but brave
words hurt when they go unsaid, so
cover your ears
you'd rather not hear the few
serious things i might say to you.
at least you know i mean it
you just pretend you're casual
like we are not both responsible
and i can barely touch you
you shrink from grander plans
out of fear it'll get out of hand, so
i'm gonna tell you the truth
honey or venom, i'm a conduit
i don't mean to be rude, but brave
your affections only come when boozed, babe
cover your ears
if you'd rather not hear the few
serious things i might say to you.
if we cannot bear the weight of our past relations
who's to say that we could
ever bear to love in spite
of the pain that we've caused?
to love inside of...
but you want me acting like you're just another woman
so you can thank yourself
when that's what i start doin', baby
i'm just another man and we are both afraid
of the serious things i might say to you.
