With the very best of my sincere intentions
So I thought anyway
But that day that we got lost
I could tell she had
Penetrated my defences
But I carried on anyway
And then the moment that we came I could tell we would
Never be the same again
More so anyway
Now feel the burden of my shame
As I try to make some sense out of this brittle life
Oh anyway
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway
So then they questioned all my friends
And tooth by tooth they extracted their confessions
So called anyway
Then they read all the books I'd read
And tried to link the authors to my known profession
They failed anyway
But then they put her on the rack
And they broke her perfect back
Into tiny pieces
She never talked anyway
Then they squeezed me till I cracked
And one by one I gave away all her secrets
Forgive me anyway
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway
And the words that I hear are the lies that you say
I'm not listening to you any more anyway
You see it all started out With the very best of my sincere intentions So I thought anyway But that day that we got lost I could tell she had Penetrated my defences But I carried on anyway And then the moment that we came I could tell we would Never be the same again More so anyway Now feel the burden of my shame As I try to make some sense out of this brittle life Oh anyway I thought I was strong enough to be everything You could ever want or need or need of me Anyway So then they questioned all my friends And tooth by tooth they extracted their confessions So called anyway Then they read all the books I'd read And tried to link the authors to my known profession They failed anyway But then they put her on the rack And they broke her perfect back Into tiny pieces She never talked anyway Then they squeezed me till I cracked And one by one I gave away all her secrets Forgive me anyway I thought I was strong enough to be everything You could ever want or need or need of me Anyway And the words that I hear are the lies that you say I'm not listening to you any more anyway Explain Request ×
