Soon

I can't let you sweep me off my feet just yet

When they've only just landed firm on the ground

And I'm so tired of being messed around

You've watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess

Maybe you could wait for me, I'll do my best

To get out of this dreary place

I'll have to face this loneliness

I've been hiding my tears from my mother, and she

She and my father still laugh together, see

See, I'd like to have real love someday

And I'd like to get past this heartbreak

Soon

I feel like I'm living when I smell of cigarette smoke

Rich and bitter, and yesterday I couldn't stop

Remembering him

Oh what a waste of breath and time

I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she

She and my father still laugh together, see

See, I'd like to have real love someday

And I'd like to get past this heartbreak soon

I'd like to have real love someday

And I'd like to get past this heartbreak

Soon
