It's a sorry state of affairs That only time can repair Just have to cradle the strain And wait for it to go away Put in the work but the rewards are few It doesn't matter what you do And love isn't always enough Expecting more is dangerous I've always tried to be there for you But now I'm hardly ever in the mood I must confess I was too obsessed With any way that I could please you The disappointment has just set in And the patience has been wearing thin Broke off the elbow, that was already bent I wish I knew where my backbone went I've always tried to be there for you But now I'm hardly ever in the mood I must confess I was too obsessed With any way that I could please you I'll let you take the lead So your ego to can be freed Why should it matter what I want It's Black and white and never grey
