I Know, I Know, I Know

Have I bought the lie within 72?

 

My heart caves so fast,

 

I want to be, hold, protect, shake, love you,

 

My head knows it's not going to last.

 

 

Huh! GASP! NO!

 

Darling, don't give up hope!

 

There's a silver lining, how strong you are!

 

She seems genuine about playing down the dope,

 

And she really has come so far...

 

 

Brother, where art thou?

 

Hast theater kept you from our plight?

 

Yesterday, some time this afternoon, now?

 

When's time for your glorious battle in this fight?

 

 

Here's the thing...

 

 

I've seen her wither and bloon,

 

And I just assumed,

 

That I'd always have room for her,

 

Always. Forever.

 

 

But I have to let go.

 

No.

 

Yes, have to let go.

 

Have to let go.

 

There's no lower low.

 

I know, I know, I know.
