Bad Poetry (Live)

I told myself I wouldn't write this song
Who needs another verse
About love at its worst
But I can't help so let's come along
I can spew all my emotions true and all
But the piece has been composed
In a mass of better prose
Every line we connect and recall

No metaphor works
To say how much I care
I'd erase all the words
To leave the chorus bare
Simply I just want you here
I wouldn't have to write this
If you loved me my dear

I'm tossing and I'm turning in the notes
I want them all gone
So I can move on
And end this Shakespearean mope
Has my vent of resistance moved you now
Satirical remarks
Still come from the heart
But sadly it broke anyhow

No metaphor works
To say how much I care
I'd erase all the words
To leave the chorus bare
Simply I just want you here
I wouldn't have to write this
If you loved me my dear

Doors are always cracked so I can see
The absence of closure tortures me

No metaphor works
To say how much I care
I'd erase all the words
To leave the chorus bare
Simply I just want you here
I wouldn't have to write this
If you loved me my dear

I told myself I'd never write this song
