Common Factor

Put me back on the shelf
Cause you heard they take returns
Blame none of it on yourself
Never the right person at the right time
Cut it out
It will all get better when
I'm a little less unstable
And a little more than able

Time moves on, getting old
I'm older than my parents were
Wonder if something changed
Look for the common factor in all this
Is it me
I've no excuse to pin my failures on
If I was less unstable
Could you look on me with favor

If things get worse before they're better
Could you tell me when they change
And should I look for the sunlight
If we barely had the rain
Let me hide behind my shadow
Cover up these aches and pains
But could you tell me when it rains

Got no tears, eyes are dry
I feel less human than I ever was
Stay at home, rot in bed
I'll treat my loneliness in isolation
What's the point
Of keeping up this masquerade
I'm sitting at the table
But none of you are able to answer

If things get worse before they're better
Could you tell me when they change
And should I look for the sunlight
If we barely had the rain
Let me hide behind my shadow
Cover up these aches and pains
But could you tell me when it rains

If things get worse before they're better
Could you tell me when they change
And should I look for the sunlight
If we barely had the rain
Let me hide behind my shadow
Cover up these aches and pains
But could you tell me when it rains
