some things can't be fixed
I think back on a night when I trie d to fix th i ngs
I ar gued ineffectivel y for my case ,
a n d t r i e d t o l e a v e , but you and I s poke on different
wave lengths, and n either mes sage got th rough c l e a r l y -
y o u want e d m e to s t a y, I stayed ,
g rudgingly,
unh a p p ily suffocated, while things we nt on
e x a c t l y the same as t hey had bef or e
But no détente could ever save us afte r I
sta r ted our l i t t l e c o l d w a r over again,
you d on't know how much it hur t
to try to get o ve r y o u.
Screw this arms ra ce,
m y arms haven 't been used to emb race you lat ely,
I'm tired of figh t ing , of trying to m a k e you see
w hat happened bet wee n us.
if y ou c a n ' t ack no w ledge you' re a comm i e bast ard
then pe rhap s that's my po l i t i c al probl em,
but don't expect me to be op ening
my em b a ss y to your de leg ation a nytime s oon.
