Whatever it is I do I try to think about you I have a love for you that nothing hides Whatever it is I do I'm only thinking of you I hope you look at me through patient eyes
I've become amused I've become blind I've become what I know not breathes You seem illiterate to all my emotions I stand corrected, how well you read You speak the truth, you speak to me You feel the love I have yet to find I know it's there, I know it's there But, I let the sand castles kill my mind Pathetic me, I long to be you I think I'm close, but, I stand so far The turbulent one sheds a turbulent tear I miss the love, only 'cause they starve Oil and water, lust and sympathy I life and death my way through the sun Where originates all the pain that leaves Leaves my memory a traumatic sponge And sings to you
Well, define my love with attitude Open up your mind and it will sing to you You can always tell But, I know remorse so well I left reality early Due to the lack of love, reason
Whatever it is I do I try to think about you I have a love for you that nothing hides Whatever it is I do I'm only thinking of you I hope you look at me through patient eyes
The channel, a professional liar How I long to contradict those vibes Joni help me, I think I'm falling It's not the love and I quest the why I don't know, if I'm right, I'm right But, if I'm wrong, then show me I'm wrong The fear of pity is always awake But, infinite sympathy is completely gone It's the windows, the doors The passageways to the truth Oh my God, it echoes the mind In total recall as wild as the deuce And so deceiving is the clouded heart So superficial is the open wound I caress the infinite light That even at night overshadows The moon that sings to you
Well, define my love, that lives within you Even when I die, it will sing to you You can only tell if remorse has done you well They misconstrued my answers due to The lack of love, reason
Whatever it is I do I try to think about you I seek the sympathy and I can't lie Whatever it is I do I'm only thinking of you I hope you look at me through patient eyes
