and he called me after it was dark
said his shades were drawn
he spoke in a whisper
they were just down the hall
and forgive me if I have to
break this conversation

but he hasn't done a thing since
that first day
he's lost it all
he hasn't bothered
and now he looks to me
for an aid

can you give me
I swear I will repay
can you give me
I'll change it all around
and it won't be the same
can you give me
the answers
can you give me
a chance here

after all the shit I've
put him through
and all he's done to me
he tries to be extravagant
maybe he'd like me to forget
maybe he's afraid
to be alone

calls at each chance of
inopportunity
and your suggestions
don't make sense
I'd like to scream
but it might hurt
your ears softened by hipocrisy

can you give me
I swear I will repay
can you give me
I'll change it all around
and it won't be the same
can you give me
the answers
can you give me
a chance here

stupid stupid boy frugal lazy self absorbed uncaring and he makes little comments and he says little things that shouldn't have hurt me
but they do.
