Little Like You

Those days when I laughed
At your expense
When your rage
Ripped a hole in the world
Just when I think
I'm the one making sense
And it's you who's gone off the deep end

Your favorite shoes
Sit unused at the door
Your tired hands
Never asking for more
When classified ads
And calls on dead lines
Are stinging reminders
That you've seen some hard times

And I'm a little like you
Bits and pieces of everyone I've met
And I've been a little bit rude
Think of all of the hurtful things I've said
I've said
I've said

When we grew up
We each had our own room
We expanded to fill
All the space in our tombs
The lock on the door
The salt in those wounds
Do they know we're still in here?

I'd love to feel good
About speaking the truth
I'd love to get out
From under this roof
But just listening now
Is the best I can do
Help me see what I'm missing
What am I missing?

Because I'm a little like you
But I started this race with you behind me
So if I come off like I know
You don't have to forgive me
You don't have to forgive me
You don't have to forgive me
You don't have to forgive
You don't have to forgive me
I'll just take what I get
