I Shut Down

Oh I heard you the first time you told me
Though unimaginable you said
Listen darling - "this can't go on"
And further on something about reason
I'm sorry I have no recollection
'Cause all the while I wish I wasn't home
And I fall down
As I see you turn and walk away
And all your words still hanging in the air
And then - you're gone

I shut down
After being played
If only half of what you say is true
I'll level with the ground
I just shut down
My field of vision fades
If only half of what you say is true
I'll level with the ground

Now I find myself wander
'Round in the memories
Of what I thought was really happy days
And through a haze I can see a commotion
And it takes a while to realize
The hallway floor rushing to my face
As I fall down
And I see you turn and walk away
And all your words are hanging in the air
And then - you're gone

I just shut down
My field of vision fades
If only half of what you say is true
I'll level with the ground

And I fall down
As I see you turn and walk away
And all your words still hanging in the air
And then you're gone
