Well, I won't say that this song is particularly exemplary, but I won't say that it's terrible for a song written in 25 minutes. Another crazy busy week, alas.
lyrics
How many punches can you take
Before your will begins to break
I’ve got enough to last all night
When will you lose your will to fight?
This ain’t the way I thought it’d go
I counted dreams like dominos
I thought that I was in control
A lesser love can take the toll
I wish I knew just why I feel
There’s no-one at the steering wheel
Someday I’m gonna get to the core
Of why I don’t love you anymore
So here’s the part where I decide
The kind to kill, the tears all dried
And here’s the part where you play dumb
As if you never saw it come
I stand against the icy stream
It pulls me down, I wanna scream
I know just where I wanna go
No one can stop the river’s flow
I wish I knew just why I feel
There’s no-one at the steering wheel
Someday I’m gonna get to the core
Of why I don’t love you anymore
