Talking To A Brick Wall

I'm not quite how I should be Been finding tricks to hard I'm thinking something must be broken 'Cause it wasn't like this before Now everyone is ugly And everyone is stoned Small things about you excite me But then I'd hate to spoil the tone All my little somethings just ran out of luck Secret dates with strangers Dirty words and fighting talk I'm so scared just kill me Time and time again I can't live with compromise So maybe we can talk as friends If at first you don't succeed try again for me Today is gonna be fine Tomorrow will be fine too I asked for things to better me Even though they silence my soul I can taste it just for a second And then it disappears The flowers looked like glitter But then so do you my dear All my little somethings Just ran out of luck Secret dates with strangers Dirty words and fighting talk I'm so scared just kill me Time and time again I can't live with compromise So maybe we can talk as friends If at first you don't succeed try again for me Its in the way that you look It's in the books that we'll read It comes and goes like a friend It's with me right till the end It's in the memories I lost It's concentrating to much It's breaking down our relations And it's the beat of the clock It's not being able to explain Or get your feelings across It's in the pain that won't leave you It's coming straight back for us It's in the new lease on life And the search that ends well It's in finding that change It's being happy again --- Talking to a Brick Wall - The Cooper Temple Clause
