We Can Learn

I wake up

And I'm next to you

And it's all I can do

To stay still as if I'm glued

To these sheets of ours

That we stain with our love

And the cruel idea of perfection

So long until tomorrow

When I'll try twice as hard

To be all the things I think that you want me to be

And if you discard

Your habit of unhappiness in return then

Maybe we can learn

Maybe we can learn oh

Maybe we can learn to fool our senses

I wake up

And I can't see

And you're crying in the bathroom

Cause the world is out to get me and you

(well mostly you)

And there's not a thing to do

So I tell you we'll pull through this and show them all

Not long until tomorrow

You never told me

All of the things that you see in your head

You've been pushing them down

Holding them back

But then you crack
