Rue Snider - Broken Window

The more I try to love the less I love myself
I guess that you could say I'm headed down
Is there anyone among us who's never lost it?
Probably not I think as I look around
'Cause everyone around here knows that love is for children's stories
And that God is a concept we measure pain with
Hey, relax, I'm just quotin' John Lennon
All you need is love 'til your heart ends up deadened

Maybe you are a baseball
And I am a broken window
So it doesn't matter what it is you do to me
We can coexist or you can strike me out like a batter
Either way I'll be in pieces sharp and shattered

Two steps forward then a hundred thousand back
I'm not good at lettin' go and moving on
I lost a good friend once to a cancer that rotted out his colon
It's been 18 years Danelle where have the days all gone?
'Cause everyone around here knows that I like to carry on
About my big big dreams that no one really wants to hear
Heartbreak is motivation to get your ass going
And that's the truth about why I quit living here

Maybe you are a baseball
And I am a broken window
So it doesn't matter what it is you do to me
We can coexist or you can strike me out like a batter
Either way I'll be in pieces sharp and shattered
We can coexist or you can strike me out like a batter
Either way I'll be in pieces sharp and shattered
