She Breathes In Waltz Time

PLEASE DON'T FEEL UNLOVED
I GUESS A SMILE AND HUG JUST AREN'T ENOUGH
WHEN FEELINGS STAY UNCHANGED
YOU JUST CAN'T FIX THEM UP
I GUESS IT WORKS FOR LITTLE GIRLS TO GIVE THEM SWEETS
BUT NOW THAT THOSE SOLUTIONS AREN'T SO NEAT
I CAN'T JUST HOLD YOU TILL YOU FALL ASLEEP
NOW YOU BURROW INTO A SAFE DISTANT RETREAT
HURTING YOU SO DEEPLY I'VE MURDERED YOUR SMILE
WE'LL NEVER SPEAK AGAIN NOR WILL WE RECONCILE
AND IF WE'RE EVER FRIENDS AGAIN IT WILL BE IN DREAMS
FINDING EACHOTHER IN SOME WARM SUBCONSCIOUS STREAM
MANY TIMES I KNOW YOU TRIED TO BE SENSITIVE
THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THOUGH TO EASILY FORGIVE
WHEN I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO BE A MAN
IT WAS THEN JUST FOR ME THAT YOU CHANGED YOUR PLANS
I DON'T EXPECT YOUR FRIENDSHIP ANYMORE
YOU'VE JUST BEEN HURT TOO MUCH BY ALL I'VE DONE BEFORE
I'LL REMEMBER YOUR SURRENDER AND SAD SAD EYES
AND UNDERSTAND SOMEDAY YOU WERE MY GREATEST ALLY
YOU LET ME GO BECAUSE I'D ASKED YOU TO
I JUST COULD NOT RETURN THAT LOVE TO YOU
BUT PLEASE DON'T BURY IT FOR OTHERS NOT TO SEE
CONTINUE TO DISPENSE THAT WARMTH FOR FREE
