Ordinary

I can't even count the ways

that I have tried to make this last forever

Some things are too hard to take

when we're so far away

You've got to see it's better

to say the things that you need to say

but you broke down, you broke down

You're not waiting for me

You tear the pictures of the wall

So they no longer call to you

As I wonder where you are

Cause, god, it's been so hard

You're letting go love that we were never meant to lose

Every time you close your eyes

The images burn so bright

And you begin to cry

Cause, goddam, you're not alright

You can't take another night

You want that ordinary life

I guess we made some mistakes

Would you throw it all away

When we belong together forever and ever now

And you've gotta keep moving on

You've got to stay strong

You wrote that in your letters

but in between lines you broke down, you broke down

You can't keep waiting for me

You tear the pictures of the wall

So they no longer call to you

As I wonder where you are

Cause, god, it's been so hard

You're letting go love that we were never meant to lose

Every time you close your eyes

The images burn so bright

And you begin to cry

Cause, goddam, you're not alright

You can't take another night

You want that ordinary life, life

Goddamn, you're not alright

You can't take another night

And I can't even count the ways

that I have tried to make this last forever

You tear the pictures of the wall

So they no longer call to you

As I wonder where you are

Cause, god, it's been so hard

You're letting go love that we were never meant to lose

Every time you close your eyes

The images burn so bright

And you begin to cry

Cause, goddam, you're not alright

You can't take another night

You want that ordinary life, life

Goddamn, you're not alright

You can't take another night

No, no, you want that ordinary life

You want that ordinary life
