A Pen and a Piece of Mind - Houston Calls

A pen and a piece of mind

Is all that I need to find

To document this mess of miscommunication

I’ll seal it in a letter

Hope you can find the time

To count inconsistencies

And read things you fail to see

I really shouldn’t spend so much time explaining

I’m smart enough to know you’re not done complaining

I’ll paint just one portrait of us And I’ll hang it up To remind me of sunrise goodbyes

So we know something we should never try

I’ll paint just one portrait of us And I’ll tear it down

To remind me of sunrise goodbyes

So we know something we should never try

So I ask myself

Self, are there more sides to this story

The corners of this triangle are skewed, and confused

On one hand

One date, one chance, the time becomes too boring

What she made seem like more

I’m not impressed and not amused

So a simple goodbye would’ve sufficed

But now youve said enough

Instead you got involved and lashed at me Can’t you see that

We’re done, we’re through

I’m well enough and I’m quite over you

So end the calls

Goodbye, I’ll see you on the other side

I’ll paint just one portrait of us And I’ll hang it up To remind me of sunrise goodbyes

So we know something we should never try

I’ll paint just one portrait of us And I’ll tear it down

To remind me of sunrise goodbyes

So we know something we should never try

I’ll show myself some other time
