Sometimes is seems we're walking backwards   To the shaky ground on which we met   Back to talking about the weather      When you already know my climate   When your greatest assets become your biggest liabilities   Nothing is enough, when everything is too much      Passion proved hundreds of times by now   Still we're back to square one      From mountains back to molehills   From pearls back to grains of sand   How can you paint yourself as the tolerant one   When you can't even accept the way we are      How can you expect me to like you all the time   When sometimes I can't even stand myself      It's not hard to hear you, but I have to grit my teeth to listen   From closer than a whisper to further than a scream   In less time than it takes to forget a stranger's name   Love it or leave it, take it or leave it   To know it is to love it, didn't I used to know you      Talk is cheap so we spray words in the air   I shoot from the hip, but my aim is only fair
