lyrics

Ain't It Just Like This World (2002)

Ain't it just like this world to tell you about a love you'll never know
Ain't it just like a girl to tell you about the world she wants to grow
She says stop your cryin' babe
I don't want you
To think I'll stay when I might leave
Well if you told me straight up then I wouldn't have to rush you
Out in this wide world to grieve.

For eight long years the wind has beckoned to your word
For eight long years these words of mine you've never heard
And the words they bend towards war
While you're hiding
And pull the covers down over your head
Well it's time you face the truth of the things that you gave birth to
Sleep soundly in your bed.

In my dreams she tossed and turned at the thought of seeing eye to eye
From the window thinking of her as the acid rain fell from the sky
It's a memory to haunt me
To my grave, dear
When I heard her say that I'm to blame
For not speaking up when I was feeling all her love
And she might have felt the same.
