lyrics

i can't promise anything to anyone at anytime
but i want you all to love me
and i can't think of everything for everyone
all of the time
but i want you all to trust me
this is not a complaint this is just an admission
every time i get out of hawk i go into remission

trying to wrap your arms around the promise
of a good intention
you're gonna cry every time i deny something's wrong
you're only human - say that you are

i am only paper and steel whalebone and nickel
i am only feeling and tone
and my grasp is tenuous at best
speaking of feeling and tone they're the ones
i love the best
every lover i've known becomes a house guest

trying to wrap your arms around...

what are you going to tell yourself when i'm not there
the best way to say you understand
is to say you don't care
