i never really know
if the words i say are right
i tend to doubt them all
and wonder if they
shed too much light
on my heart -
weighin me down
but i show it all -
everything within
i’m a sucker for reality
and all these things i’m feelin’
impassioned by my passions
answering questions my mind’s askin
that leave me defenseless
arms stretched but i’m helpless
a night’s rest gives some relief
but it’s ever long enough for me
because…
there’s always someone to care for
especially when you’re bein ignored
playing mind-games for sport
someday -
i’ll settle the score
yeah, someday
i’ll settle the score
i’ll come out of it all
better than before
believe me when i say -
better than before
forgetting yesterdays
and know that today
i’m not where i need to be
but i’ll see what i need to see
just know that you gave me
more than you could take from me
and i’ll take from you
what you could never give to me
my heart breaks often
and these tears
these tears - soften the ground
on which i’m fallin’
but with all these new
threads that i’m sporting
i’ll dress myself well
for the women i’ll be courting
and i’ll grow up to be old
enough to keep warm in the cold
i’ll let the little things go
yeah, yeah, i’ll let the little things go
because…
there’s always someone to care for
especially when you’re bein ignored
playing mind-games for sport
someday -
i’ll settle the score
yeah, someday
i’ll settle the score
i’ll come out of it all
better than before
believe me when i say -
better than before
