so you're not the butter that cuts the knife
but you've been the blade of my worries
when you sit with me on these summery steps and wait
till my desperation deserts me
and i get so perplexed
when I realize how hard I try to be a mess
I obsess, and I let myself play bird with a broken wing
but honey you take the sting out of everything
so I'll peel sunburned skin from my shoulder
bitch about the noise from the passing cars
it's sad getting older but I already know
that purpose doesn't get me very far
but that knowledge doesn't help to explain why
I try so hard to be a mess
I'm a wreck and what ruins me is my self induced suffering
but honey you take the sting out of everything
