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
