I don't want (Oh, I don't need, I just don't care.)
I'm not going to wake up
today. Time has
frozen. Time has
stopped but it's not a
time-warp. I've been lost
in the wash, in your dark jean pocket. The silver coin
that screams at you before you break the machine. The silver
coin that warns you, if left unattended will never be the same,
will cause more damage than ever intended. Silly, silver coin cannot speak its words.
I don't want you
Oh, I don't need -
and babe, I just don't care.
I'm not going to eat
today. My throat is
swollen. My throat won't
swallow but it's not
filled. It's far too hollow
inside this leather wallet, in the back of your car. A crumpled parking ticket that warns you there are only four days left
before you have to pay. A crumpled parking ticket
that screams out warning you it isn't to be ignored, and
will cause more damage if left unattended. Silly, crumpled parking ticket cannot speak its words.
I don't want you
Oh, I don't need -
and babe, I just don't care.
I'm not going to speak
today. I've said
enough. I said
too much, felt too much, spat out too many wasted words.
See, I was lost. I was lost
and hollow. I was lost and hollow and pathetic once again because of you.
I don't want to want you, darlin'
Oh and I certainly don't need -
Babe, this time, I simply do not care. [/font]

i like the repetitions like lyrics for a song and favourite part was the whole seventh stanza. wonderful. i find myself empathising quite a bit with you today. [:

Thank you, J - It's not been particularly easy. =] We all keep moving though, right?
