Baby, I know
The worst mistake I ever made
Was to put it in 2nd, and walk away.
I didn’t fight that mountain.
And still, to make it easier,
Into that something good…
I wish I heard that voice,
Telling me I should.
What good would it do?
Tell me,
What has happened to you?

You're swearing all the time,
This haystack, these needles,
They’re always getting taller,
But,
Forgive me…
I notice your smile still hasn’t faltered.
Go ahead, you feel fine, but…
Like some pawned-off ring,
Like some choir unable to sing,
Like some shoe with too many miles,
Like some child without a smile,
Like some worn-out version
Of my favorite song,
That shine in your eyes
Is dead and gone.
There’s no more room for me
Left in those baby-blues…
Tell me,
What has happened to you?

A well runs over,
A well runs dry.
A needle in a haystack,
A needle in an eye.
Where is security?
The window, the pane,
The lock, the key?
The grass is ***** and weak,
With nothing coming soon,
No sign of something good.
I’d like to make it easier-
Tell me,
Do you think I should?
I’m helpless, yes,
I wish you were helpless, too-
Tell me,
What has happened to you?

And even if the stars aligned,
I’d still be searching ‘til the end of time.
Too tired, true,
But what else should I do?
Tell me,
What has happened to you?

So, one more thing, I think,
Before I cut you down to size,
And tell you goodbye:
I’d give you everything I own,
For you to just leave me alone.
Forget our summer,
Forget our past,
And for goodness sake,
And for the sake of God,
Take me off this crooked line
That I know you drew.
Your memory,
It sticks like glue…
But tell me nothing-
I don’t want to know
What has happened to you.
