Bad Poetry (Live)

I told myself I wouldn't write this song Who needs another verse About love at its worst But I can't help so let's come along I can spew all my emotions true and all But the piece has been composed In a mass of better prose Every line we connect and recall No metaphor works To say how much I care I'd erase all the words To leave the chorus bare Simply I just want you here I wouldn't have to write this If you loved me my dear I'm tossing and I'm turning in the notes I want them all gone So I can move on And end this Shakespearean mope Has my vent of resistance moved you now Satirical remarks Still come from the heart But sadly it broke anyhow No metaphor works To say how much I care I'd erase all the words To leave the chorus bare Simply I just want you here I wouldn't have to write this If you loved me my dear Doors are always cracked so I can see The absence of closure tortures me No metaphor works To say how much I care I'd erase all the words To leave the chorus bare Simply I just want you here I wouldn't have to write this If you loved me my dear I told myself I'd never write this song
