She said “You always liked the sad songs”
I looked straight ahead
She said “Even when we were together, you were sad”
I waited, she stroked my pain
In my head I heard “For three strange days”
She continued “Something’s always been wrong with you”
I continued to listen to the song…
“I got to make it through, no matter what it takes”
“Yeah, I got to make it through, no matter what it takes”
She looked at me as if I was supposed to reply…
While I hummed, “Completely still, cept the pounding of my heart,
bringing me back to life, from three strange days”
Seems she never understood, me….nor the words inside my head
