The Posies

When we met we still had innocence
And we did things cause they made sense
Without trying hard i made it final
And we conceived our children on backseat vinyl
Though we didnt have a lot
(but) one was quickly bought
Then we buit upon this ground something we thought was sound
But in reality was silence
I cant tell you why it all breaks down
And please dont ask me why im no longer around
I only picked up your story knowing you were lying
Dont ask me for advice
Youll have to learn to help yourself
When i look back now i plainly see
The misery im sure you dont agree
And all the products of those peaceful years
The broken plates and glasses and the shouting hurt my ears
Sometimes i wish i was asleep
And you were just another sheep
And when we finally fell apart
You were left holding the cart
Though you thought id said id push it
I cant tell you why it all breaks down
And please dont ask me why im no longer around
I keep dropping those hints but they never touched the ground
Im useless to you now
Youll have to learn yourself to help yourself
I had never planned on this being so complicated
You had never planned on us being so separated
The spiteful words will heal with time
Eventually they rhyme
You can forget but not forgive the fact that i still live
And never wanted you to give... in
I cant tell you why it all breaks down
And please dont ask me why im no longer around
You werent satisfied i was only superhuman
Dont ask me for advice
Youll have to learn to help...
I cant tell you why it all breaks down
And please dont ask me why im no longer around
Well i could only stand sitting here so long
You dont need my help
Youll have to learn to help yourself
