Lyrics Second Person

Second Person

Unretractable Facts

The sad and unretractable fact of my devotion to you

Causes you to pause in awe of my emotion

And you tell me you're overwhelmed and all your senses

are kinda shaken

And I'm sitting here wishing I could have been mistaken

At one point or another I arrived at the truth

And at a quarter to three, it might have been two

thirds vermouth

But oh I know me so well, I know the thing about me

Is even when wasted I don't waste my honesty

And now I'm stuck in the centre of unthinkable thoughts

I'd better show some remorse, I'd better head for the

door

'Cause all it takes to make a statement is to say that

it's true

So the fact is unretractable and there is nothing I can

do about it

Damn, whatever happened to acceptable lies

I have a self to despise

I have a head and a heart so horribly open wide

You had to be scared, you couldn't be dared to decide

To do anything other than running for cover to hide

I said, Oh, I'm so sorry you know I get so verbose

Sometimes I feel like I'm just sitting removing my

clothes

Like every layer of whatever I'm wearing is lifted away

With every article I have to say

All because I'm stuck in the centre of unthinkable

thoughts

I'd better show some remorse, I'd better head for the

door

All it takes to make a statement is to say that it's

true

But now the fact is unretractable and there is nothing

I can do about it

And nothing I can do about it

Well it's a tragic and impractical fate that I am

forced to contemplate

Another girl would never get in this state

I ingested the best part of seven bottles of wine

And like I'd learnt them by heart I started reciting my

lines

And now I'm frightened and fraught, I'm distract and

distressed

I'm too depressed, this is what I get for getting it

off my chest

So you will have to forgive me for failing to make more

sense

Just so you know, I hope we can be friends

Oh because I'm stuck in the centre of unthinkable

thoughts

I'd better show some remorse, I'd better head for the

door

All it takes to make a statement is to say that it's

true

And the fact is unretractable and there is nothing I

can do about it

And there is nothing I can do about it

Nothing I can do about it
