Little Like You

Those days when I laughed At your expense When your rage Ripped a hole in the world Just when I think I'm the one making sense And it's you who's gone off the deep end Your favorite shoes Sit unused at the door Your tired hands Never asking for more When classified ads And calls on dead lines Are stinging reminders That you've seen some hard times And I'm a little like you Bits and pieces of everyone I've met And I've been a little bit rude Think of all of the hurtful things I've said I've said I've said When we grew up We each had our own room We expanded to fill All the space in our tombs The lock on the door The salt in those wounds Do they know we're still in here? I'd love to feel good About speaking the truth I'd love to get out From under this roof But just listening now Is the best I can do Help me see what I'm missing What am I missing? Because I'm a little like you But I started this race with you behind me So if I come off like I know You don't have to forgive me You don't have to forgive me You don't have to forgive me You don't have to forgive You don't have to forgive me I'll just take what I get
