WHAT I HAVE BECOME

What I have become/Heather Crumley 2005©
 
You say you want me to be direct. Say what I mean, spit it out, stop talking
in circles.  
Well I'm not like you, so dependent on the surface
I'm 100% metaphorical, and my train of thought runs underground
and I can't tell you how I feel, because I know how you'll misconstrue what's so very simple
oh and I know all the ways you'd open up to me
just to shut me down

This dissolution will not find its resolve within any rational time period. I've picked through your bag of tricks, and drawn out my own conclusions.
I don't trust you, I want to
but it just doesn't stick
ya'know
   It just doesn't feel like I can

My situation warrants caution, has all the red flags,
flashing lights and blaring sirens, And I know that in love you
take your chances, still I can't help but feel responsible for
the pain I bring upon myself
And you'll go and I'll let you go
And you'll know that you had me at my best
And you'll go and I'll know that I did everything I can

 don't pretend that we haven't preyed upon selfishness
We have bathed in it but now somehow it doesn't feel as rewarding
And I guess that's because we are different people
I'm not who I was before
 going nowhere
Yes we are different people in different places
And I'm not that type of fun no more

I know nothing will change. I know nothing will come of this.
I'll still feel estranged, and you'll still kill yourself to reassure me.
With all that's been said… all that's gone unnoticed I can't help myself
I still want you, it goes on
You'll never understand the chain of events as they are unfolding,
you'll always question what I want from you.
You never did get it you never could grasp what I've done for you.  
What I have become
What have I become
