Thirst for Knowledge
I'm really sorry that I sometimes feel like this
I'm really sorry that I sometimes make you cry
I need to know all about you because you're mine
But then I go so quiet and the desert's dry
I cannot bear the thought of someone touching you
Even in the days when I never knew
The thirst for knowledge is the thing that drives me on
Even though I know I'll feel the way I do
The awful mess that I'm trying to forget
The awful mess that made you write those songs
And the people you turned to to save yourself
All those weeks that I left you for so long
And I promise not to hurt you anymore
Can you understand what I'm trying to say
I'm trying not to hurt you anymore
But I upset you when I sometimes feel this way
A thirst for knowledge from the well where the knowledge lies
When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise
I could never bear
I could never bear those words
I'm really sorry that I sometimes feel like this
After all the things I've promised in this song
I'd never forgive myself if I lost you now
I'm trying oh so hard not to do wrong
I cannot bear the thought of someone touching you
Even in the days when I never knew you
A thirst for knowledge is the thing that drives me on
Even though I know I'll feel the way I do
And I still feel this way
I'm trying not to do that
I'm really sorry that I sometimes make you cry
I need to know all about you because you're mine
But then I go so quiet and the desert's dry
I cannot bear the thought of someone touching you
Even in the days when I never knew
The thirst for knowledge is the thing that drives me on
Even though I know I'll feel the way I do
The awful mess that I'm trying to forget
The awful mess that made you write those songs
And the people you turned to to save yourself
All those weeks that I left you for so long
And I promise not to hurt you anymore
Can you understand what I'm trying to say
I'm trying not to hurt you anymore
But I upset you when I sometimes feel this way
A thirst for knowledge from the well where the knowledge lies
When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise
I could never bear
I could never bear those words
I'm really sorry that I sometimes feel like this
After all the things I've promised in this song
I'd never forgive myself if I lost you now
I'm trying oh so hard not to do wrong
I cannot bear the thought of someone touching you
Even in the days when I never knew you
A thirst for knowledge is the thing that drives me on
Even though I know I'll feel the way I do
And I still feel this way
I'm trying not to do that
