When all your love and anger is mine to have tonight Close the door on this conversation It doesn't really matter anyway Slam the book on this old frustration You can plead, pretend & promise me That will not make me stay Lost in the maze of your reality Steering with a fury toward our inevitable end This time I'm praying for some amnesty Divine intervention -- hush your logical defense Close the door on this conversation It doesn't really matter anyway Slam the book on this old frustration You can plead, pretend & promise me That will not make me stay Do you believe the words you scream? (I can't hear you anymore) I think we've been living in a dream (I can't hear you) And this dream will not, cannot, ever make me stay Close the door on this conversation It doesn't really matter anyway Slam the book on this old frustration You can plead, pretend & promise me That will not make me stay
