Wake from this slumber   My tongue is cluttered   I shudder to think   Of all the things you've kept from me   Why won't you listen to any of my excuses?   They're clever, I swear   I'm always prepared      It's life and death   It's love and sex   It's everything about you   Why'd you have to make this mess?   You never really had to      This room shakes with resounding sounds   Of the mistakes I never made   I'm here to blame      It's life and death   It's love and sex   It's everything about you   Why'd you have to make this mess?   You never had to   I'll give it time, time to let go   Rest assured, my voice is heard wherever you go      It's a sound, it's a whisper drawing listeners   Surely you have heard it differ   From the lights and looks of things   I've always been in between      It's life and death   It's love and sex   It's everything about you   Why'd you have to make this mess?   You never had to   I'll give it time, time to let go   Rest assured, my voice is heard wherever you go
