The Ringing In My Ears

Think about those books you read

And I wonder if they make you think about me.

Maybe if the hero dies,

Or kisses other girls and tries to justify

There's reasons why.

Set the stage for make believe,

I said I'm not your father and ill never leave.

I'll just stay and make it worse

And keep your life from going on its natural course.

Think about those songs you play

And I wonder if the words help you to stay

Maybe if the melody is filled with both the pain and the extasy

Of loving me.
