lyrics

You ask me what I left out of the letters
But I know better than to try and answer that
In the cluttered, buried, dusty days
I picked up what you threw away
And kept it like a secret
Now you ask me to repeat it, I say

I’ll use simple words and let you sing along
It doesn’t matter what just make it up
You know you can’t be wrong
Why don’t you need an education?
Why don’t you take your medication?
Why don’t you know he’s on probation?
Why don’t you just try masturbation?

You ask me what I left out of the letters
But I know better than to try and answer that
In the cluttered, buried, dusty days
I picked up what you threw away
And kept it like a secret
Now you ask me to repeat it, I say

If my manuscript is nondescript and bland
If it makes no sense at all
Will you still tell me that you understand and
Why do you put up with my nonsense?
Why don’t I feel I have a conscience?
Why does it have to be so hard to say the words
I’m not sure if I mean? When I mean:

You ask me what I left out of the letters
But I know better than to try and answer that
In the cluttered, buried, dusty days
I picked up what you threw away
And kept it like a secret
Now you ask me to repeat it, I say

I’ll do my best to hone your soul your wit and charm
To be sure, it’s hearts not bones
So no one’s been done any real harm
Why do I feel I’m in a movie?
Why can you look and see right through me?
Why do I feel there’s nothing worse than
“Why have I never told you this in person?”
