Critical Times

All the trouble I make through the things I do

They keep catching up with me

They tend to leave us to

I don’t always know when I’m right

But I sure know when I’m wrong

I’m feeling self pity and yet

Still writing sad stupid songs

She says you

Say what you want

Do what you say

These are critical times

Love is fading away

We can go through the tops

And we can live through these games

It never changes how it feels

When your love is fading away

You lose all track of yourself

When you’re feeling that way

You could always hide yourself in corners

Worrying about all the miserable things but

Everyone seems to swim in it

It makes the world go round

I’m somewhere floundering

Feeling like I’ve been drowned

So I say what I want

And I do what I say

These are critical times

Love is fading away

I can go through the tops

And I can live through these games

It never changes how it feels

When your love is fading

I don’t believe in much

And I never gave it time

To tell anybody how I’m willing to give to them

All my life yeah

I don’t believe it

She has a look there in her eyes

She’s trying to get through to me

She’s gonna stick this out one more time

So you’re cruisin’ down the road of life

Should be feeling strong

You never had the feeling yet

And it always leads you all wrong

You’re best when you grab hold of yourself

Since you know you’re gonna fall

You can check out on me any time that you like

Love is bittersweet, that’s all

So we say what we want

And we do what we say

These are critical times

Love is fading away

We can go through the tops

And we can live through these games

It never changes how it feels

When your love is fading

Oh no you say what you want (say what you want)

And you do what you say (you do what you do by now that)

These are critical times

Love is fading away

We can go through the tops (through the tops)

And we can live through these games

It never changes how we feel...
