Exit Wounds - Tim Barry

I see guilt in your eyes

But there’s some things from me you can’t hide

Truth is hard

Guilt is easy

Nothing’s changed since you left

Just an extra room and higher rent

Come on in

I wish you’d not come here

Whoa, I moved your couch with calloused hands

And your bed in a borrowed van

But that don’t mean a thing

I change the path I walk now every morning to avoid you being near

I cut out the chatter of friends of friends of friends in case I hear

About the old you and the new you

And what you do and when and where

You make me feel like ballast

Just dead weight

Is that clear?

How the fuck am I supposed to memorize

Every word that you write

And every change in your life

And every simple expression

Do you like me or just the idea of me?

Cause in the rain it’s all you

And in the sun it’s all about you

Now you’re here and I’m through

And you don’t even know it

I could talk at you with out end

But I know you wouldn’t listen

You never did before

I change the path I walk now every morning to avoid you being near

I cut out the chatter of friends of friends of friends in case I hear

About the old you and the new you

And what you do and when and where

You make me feel like ballast

Just dead weight

Is that clear?
