Desk Drawer

I used to keep cards in a drawer And store them Like I could keep the love Of people past adoring me Stop absorbing me Now I throw them away Without caution 'Cause I know the pain Of what you put down in pen What you really meant Don't try to pretend That I knew what you meant I used to love the crowd And all the people But now I know them well They're just too loud for me I'm just not funny So I'll slip away in conversation Until one day I won't know what to say I say the wrong thing Anyway Don't try to pretend That I knew what you meant I can't forget That you knew what you meant I used to keep my heart In a drawer and store it But in the dark It doesn't beat
