A request   So simple and yet   It's so hard to expect   Anything more than what I've asked   You can fool me for a while   Longer but no longer   Than I let you have the best of me for the worst of reasons   I can humor one more chance   In exchange for something true   You create the circumstance   But don't take me for a fool   There's only so long I can hold my breath   And I'm not convinced   That there's no other out but the other   I shudder to think about   And I'd like to think   That this time is less forgettable than you've decided   No other thoughts frequent my mind   Quite as troubling as this peace that I could not find   Well I hope you got what you came here for   Another trophy on your shelf   I could blame you for this misery   But I brought it on myself
