Oh, monday morning waking up still too numb to speak
another night just staring at the wall.
last nightand's conversation knocked me off my feet
guess today iand'll fall
i wish that we could find the words to look the other way
be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say
and maybe then weand'd get somewhere weand'd never been before
but whatand's the use in fighting when you know youand've lost the war.
Walk the streets in new orleans, shirt soaked to my skin
through the mess of yesterdayand's parade.
thousand times a day i think of calling you again
come to my senses instead.
and every time we walk away we lose a little time
pretending to each other now that everything is fine.
i know whatever lies i use to get myself to sleep
i wake up to the promises i know we couldnand't keep.
Chorus:
Say you donand't see whatand's wrong
every night lasting oh so long,
and i know, i do, youand're already gone.
Bridge:
I wonder should i get up, would but whatand's the point?
oh once somethingand's gone itand's gone for good.
maybe i could look away back to where we used to be,
one more time i wish i could.
Oh, never mind the reasons that tore us all apart
weand've both done things i know we canand't defend.
whatand's the use in tracing it all back to the start
thereand's something missing in the end.
i wish that we could find the words to look the other way
be careful of the things we do and everything we say
and maybe then weand'd get somewhere weand'd never been before
but whatand's the use in fighting when you know youand've lost the war.
Chorus:
Say you donand't see whatand's wrong
every night lasting oh so long,
and i know, i do, youand're already gone.
oh i know, i do, youand're already gone.
