Patron Saint Of Bridge Burners Some Day I Will Feel OK
I'd like to say I'm sorry, it may seem a bit cliché
But I'm glad to see that you've been well, some day I'll feel OK
You've found a brand new toy to play with ‘til it breaks
Just how long until you slip and make the same mistakes?
I guess I've gotta ask
Did you play pretend for long?
And when you play pretend with him
Do you sing those same old songs?
And is he the blood in your veins?
Does he say a prayer for your soul?
And when the time has come
Will you tell him that things just ran their course?
Do you think he'll take it well?
I hope he's stronger than me
In fact, I hope he's everything
That I could never be
Have you told him some day you might hurt him?
Gave him that wound that bleeds and bleeds?
Have you told him you're afraid you'll change
Along with all your needs?
Have you used the word "forever"?
Have you told him he'll be alright?
Have you told him he'll have the same damn dreams
Every single night?
Do you think he'll take it well?
And will he be able to cope?
Will he sing you all those sad, sad songs?
Or will they be songs of hope?
I hope he's the blood in your veins
And I hope your needs stay the same
And I hope forever means forever
And I hope this time you don't change
I hope he treats you well
I hope he's better than me
In fact I hope he's everything
That I could never be
I'd like to say I'm sorry, some day I will feel OK
