I Don't Want Anything From You

I don't want anything from you Living my life day by day is all I do You say you don't know how you feel I can't make you be with me And I don't want anything from you I kneel down, I breathe, I bow my head You turn to leave, you walk on by Don't say a word you step outside and whistle like a bird I don't want anything from you living my life day by day is all I do You say you don't know how you feel I can't make you be with me And I don't want anything from you They say every relationship has nine issues unresolved And I feel like eleven of those belong to this lonely soul Seventy-five hours of therapy won't cure you and me And I don't want anything from you I don't want anything from you Living my life day by day is all I do You say you don't know how you feel I can't make you be with me And I don't want anything from you I spend my days thought through things like the seven ways You know that intersection in Sydney round Rockdale way For those who don't know it's an unusually shaped intersection with lots of roads converging My dad used to have his office near there There's a tax office, a brothel and funeral parlor You can get screwed, get screwed again and die! I wouldn't wish that on anybody, at least not in that order And I don't want anything from you For a time our love was like a totally integrated transport interchange Busy, chaotic, but ultimately functional But then construction stopped and the rain set in And costly litigation ensued I don't want that for me and I don't want that from you I don't want anything from you Live my life day by day is all I do You say you don't know how you feel I can't make you be with me And I don't want anything from you I don't want anything from you I don't want anything from you I don't want anything from you And I don't want anything from you I don't want anything from you
