This story has unfolded for me many times before

Do I commit, keep silent, or run for the door?

With you it’s much different that’s plain to see

No fighting, no bullshit, just you and me

The ground rules were set from the very start

It appears as if someone forgot to tell your heart

I’m not unhappy that it has come to this

I can always feign ignorance, as it is bliss

I built a wall around my heart so many years ago

Nothing has pervaded it, not wind, rain, or snow

I feel too often that I’m no longer capable of love

What will it take to penetrate this wall, a hard enough shove?

We both have our demons they’re one and the same

Will they destroy us; will they be to blame?

The future is uncertain, even a fool knows this

I drank so much beer now I have to piss.
