I don't wanna lose nothing that I can't get back It's not as though I catalog a list of everything I ever had I guess I mean my little black cat Sitting in the middle of the diamond padded mat I mean a sense of being home As it is I really like being alone I miss the world sometimes, but not as bad I wanna hear you're doing well But all they say is you put your mother through hell And though we were just kids I never thought you'd cut me the way you did I know it happens every day That never seems to make the stinging feel okay It's written in the book of common pain You read it too and felt exactly the same It is pedestrian at best, but I'm still upset No one ever said that it would be easy Everybody gonna have to fall to pieces I can't wait to see how you put it together It is gonna fit a little better, believe me Even if it don't, we'll just set it free It got so quiet in my house Every thought hit me just a little too loud And though I tried to write it down If I'm honest I don't know how My friend told me you gotta play it cool And it just hit me that I think that it is true Just 'cause it happens in my brain Well, that don't mean that someone else would feel the same It's so hard to accept, but it's for the best So I will take this quest and try my hardest No one ever said that it would be easy Everybody gonna have to fall to pieces I can't wait to see how you put it together It is gonna fit a little better, believe me We could go on riding out into a sunset We could try something that we hadn't done yet We could plant a tree and decide that we need it We could stick together, oh, yeah, believe me Even if we don't, we'll just set it free 'Cause if it don't sparkle, then it's not for me
