lyrics

You are a silent cry for help at the edge of the dinner table
Your hands and knees buckle at the thought of making a mistake again
Well, I would like to know what went so wrong in your life
I would like to know what it is you're looking for

But I am merely a man and you're a black hole
Something tells me I'm not gonna make it out of this one alive

Well, you've got twin volcanoes underneath eyelids
And a calculator brain counting the damages done
And there ain't nothing that I can say that'll ease the pain
So I'll stay silent

So name one good thing about me that you can remember
Can you count the smiles over the scowls over time?
Well, I am the last person you should take it out on
I sincerely hope you find what it is that you keep bitching at me to do

But I am merely a man and you're a black hole
Something tells me I'm not gonna make it out of this one alive

Well, you've got twin volcanoes underneath eyelids
And a calculator brain counting the damages done
And there ain't nothing that I can say that'll ease the pain
So I'll stay silent

I hope you know when I say that no one will love you more than me
It doesn't mean you won't find someone better
They can be stronger, richer, smarter, funnier
Better all around
As long as I live, I'll be singled out

But I am merely a man and you're a black hole
Something tells me I'm not gonna make it out of this one alive

You've got twin volcanoes underneath eyelids
And a calculator brain counting the damages done
And there ain't nothing that I can say that'll ease the pain
So I'll stay silent
