When She Stares - Span

I never thought that what I said

Could have so many meanings

To her one voice is a harmony

I try to say I care but no

It sounds like I don’t mean it

She thinks I’m a parody

And when she won’t speak to me she doesn’t tell me why

I’m supposed to know what I’ve done wrong and make it right

I think she’s made of glass

She breaks with the lightest touch

And cuts me when I try to put her back together

I twist myself to the best I can be

But I never do enough

I always do too much

And when she tells me to leave all she wants is for me to stay

And when she wants me to stay it’s dangerous to leave

When she stares at me I go down

When that stare hits me I’m wrapped around

When she stares I know it won’t take long before I crawl

The moments of hope are the moments of truth

With weapons laid aside

And all is peace and beauty

I could go on like that forever

But the call was never mine

She wins I’m the loser

She hears my words like they?

re doublecross-designed

And every time she breaks she gets that cold and piercing eye

When she stares at me I go down

When that stare hits me I?

m wrapped around

When she stares I know it won?

t be long before I crawl

She’s freaking out

I need a break

Anything at all

Anything at all

I need something to calm her down

Anything at all

Anything at all

Anything at all

It’s been like this for all my life

Everywhere I go I tend to cause confusion

I go for peace but end up with strife

The belief in a clear statement

Is a painful illusion

Everywhere I stay there’s someone asking me to leave

And every time I leave there’s someone asking me to stay

And everywhere someone stares and then again

When she stares at me I go down

When that stare hits me I’m wrapped around

When she stares I know it won’t be long before I crawl
