You Can Call Me

You can call me when you're in a better humor.

You can call me when you realize what you've done.

It isn't funny how you make a scratch a tumor.

You can blame me, but I'm not the only one.

You can tell me all the times you really were sorry,

And I know the way you grind your teeth at night.

I know you mean it, but you do what you want to do anyway,

Then you apologize and you think that makes things right.

I told you that I'd be myself,

And that's the way I've been,

But you never try be yourself at all.

You'd rather look for a shadow where no one's been,

Find a hole and crawl right in.

I told you that I'm just myself,

The way I've always been,

But you never seem to be yourself at all.

You'd rather look for a shadow where no one's been,

Aim at a target that you can pin,

Find a hole and crawl right in,

But if that's your answer you'll fall right in.

You should call me 'cause I know that you really want to

And to tell the truth, I really wish you would.

You know it kills me, when I see all these stupid things haunt you.

It's still just me, and I've always understood.
