I think we better talk this over
Maybe when we both get sober
Youll understand Im only a man
Doin the best that I can.
This situation can only get rougher.
Why should we needlessly suffer?
Lets call it a day, go our own different ways
Before we decay.
You dont have to be afraid of looking into my face,
Weve done nothing to each other time will not erase.
I feel displaced, I got a low-down feeling
You been two-faced, you been double-dealing.
I took a chance, got caught in the trance
Of a downhill dance.
Oh, child, why you wanna hurt me?
Im exiled, you cant convert me.
Im lost in the haze of your delicate ways
With both eyes glazed.
You dont have to yearn for love, you dont have to be alone,
Somewheres in this universe theres a place that you can call home.
I guess Ill be leaving tomorrow
If I have to beg, steal or borrow.
Itd be great to cross paths in a day and a half
Look at each other and laugh.
But I dont think its liable to happen
Like the sound of one hand clappin.
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
neath the bed where we slept.
Dont think of me and fantasize on what we never had,
Be grateful for what weve shared together and be glad.
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
Eventually well hang ourselves on all this tangled rope.
Oh, babe, time for a new transition
I wish I was a magician.
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
That weve both gone beyond.
