maybe i'm just tired/a soft hum

if love comes your way,
don't be afraid--
unlock the box you heart's encased.
hope it won't change
and beware of the games
that she'll want to start playing
(oh, lately babe
i stay awake thinking this life gets lonely)

well maybe i'm just scared,
scared to let you go.
(i want you to know,
right from hello,
your love just kept me wondering)
well maybe i'm just tired
tired of never knowing.

i know i'm not good enough,
i know i'm not good enough for you.

if i can be saved,
show me the way,
help me help myself, baby.
don't be confused,
our love is true:
just tell by the way i'm looking at you.

but i know i'm not good enough
i know i'm not good enough for you.

'cause i know i'm not good enough,
i know i'm not good enough for you.

........

everyday,
it slips away.
life becomes a soft hum
with no reason.
your mind grows numb,
stop making love,
going through the motions.
tell me how come
no one gets what they really want
and love only when it's convenient?
we act like we know more than we know.
we treat love like it's something you own,
that you own.

yesterday,
i thought i heard you say,
"who do you think you're kidding?
we're all pissing into the wind,
wearing sheepskin,
hiding from the same things
that our dads did."
but no one gets what they really want.
we love only when it's convenient.
we act like we know more than we know.
we treat love like it's something you own.

but maybe i'll find you.
maybe i'll find something i love.
baby, i've found you.
maybe i've found something i love.
