I feel it now, more than before,
Bashing my hand against the door,
We talk it out but it’s a chore,
Smashing my head against a wall.
Why can’t you be a little more honest for a change?
Why can’t you see that we are all far from entertained?
This love isn’t dying, it’s already dead.
There’s no pro in sighing, I’ve run out of breath.
There’s no use in lying, we know what was said.
I hope one day you get that through your head.
It’s different now, four to the floor,
Making my bed for no reward,
Let it all out, out, out, open the door,
Praying you strum some better chords.
Why can’t you be a little more honest for a change?
Why can’t you see that we are all watching with disdain?
This love isn’t dying, it’s already dead.
There’s no pro in sighing, I’ve run out of breath.
There’s no use in lying, we know what was said.
I hope one day you get that through your head, through your head.
