And I couldn't sing a song to you
but I couldn't seem to blame you
sometimes it snows on you
It's quiet on dark nights,
Trust is not a game that naïve,
stupid people play and use
and sometimes you just need
You're my Badlands, my Grand Canyon,
You're my reservation, my second place consolation,
Greatest fear, a lonely tear
Of blessness, an empty caress
An earthquake, a broken plate
Lost in innocence, a cheap defense
My delusion, my confusion
Of cancer, a wrong answer
A lost game, fickle as fame
A bad critique, a glass of leaves
It's foul, a fatal attraction
You're a long, you're a long,
you're a long way from home
You're in love, love, love,
You, you, you will always hurt,
Cause you won't let go of everything
Until you're quiet one dark night
And you give up the fight,
And find that trust is not a game
I used to let people play in youth
And you let it rain, you let it flood
And let it dry out all the pain
