Lovelock
Do you feel alright?
Have you had enough?
I can't help but think about
The way I'm feeling stuck.
I really wanna try
To make you feel alright.
Should I have another drink?
I've had enough tonight.
I know you want
To feel a certain way.
I wanna make you understand
What I'm trying to say.
You never really want
To tell me how you feel,
And you might not think so
But you know it's real.
We fought a dirty war.
The military coup
Did nothing but to make
You feel a fool.
I bet you wonder why
You think you're being hurt,
Even though you know
You're the one who's been the worst.
As I lay here now
On the bedroom floor
I can't help but think about
What I'm waiting for.
As you're pushing out
Of the window screen
I start to feel okay
With the things you said to me.
But it's not what I want,
It's what I need.
You can tell me everything
Oh, pretty please
