how do i get through to you
how do i make you understand how i feel
other than having you sit in my chest
and feel the blood pumping in my heart
how do i make you understand what it is you do
that the bad things can build up
like the good things can
and one tower is looming over the other
how do i get you to do something
to hold on to my hand
before it slips out of your grasp
how do i get you to believe
that i'm not crazy
that i'm asking for so little
and you can't just give me that
how do i get you
to admit you want this as bad as i do
to just want this as bad as i do
how do i make you see
that you will lose me
that you will regret losing me
my darling boy
my stupid darling boy
how do i make you see this
how do i make you understand
how do i get you to love me
in the way i need you to?
—love, darling, you're losing me III
