Eyes Tight Shut

Did I disappear?
You say that you can't see me
And you lay the blame completely
On circumstance given half a chance
Should I even care
That you bit my wounds then lick them
I return a victim to this bloody war
With eyes tight closed
I might just to feel the blood that flows to heal
But it's hard to make a start
With eyes tight shut
I might just hear the sound of rushing blood
To my broken body parts
But not my heart
Am I so naive?
You said I should be stronger
When asked if love lasts longer
If we sealed the deal
And you agreed and I believed you
Will I ever learn
You're not worth all the heart ache
Cos eventually the bow breaks
And down I'll fall
And regret it all
With eyes tight closed
I might just to feel the blood that flows to heal
But it's hard to make a start
With eyes tight shut
I might just hear the sound of rushing blood
To my broken body parts
But not my heart

You hurt me bad
I hurt you back
If you don't suspect revenge I suggest you think again
Do you know respect is?
It's not sex with your exes
Didn't Aretha teach you some wounds need more than TCP
What you need is a little more understanding
...than I give you
What you want is a little more forward planning
...than I do
What you take is a liberty too often
Have you forgotten what we said
We both know what you need isn't me
I broke cigars
You smoke my heart
Should we start again again and expect regrets to wane
Do you know what respect is
A property of opposite sexes
You know Shania lied to you when she said you're still the one
What you need is a little more understanding
...than I give you
What you want is a little more forward planning
...than I do
What you take is a liberty too often
Have you forgotten what we said
We both know what you need isn't me
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Etc.
Will you give me...please?
It's easy
We both know what you need isn't me
