A Year Ago...

When you're not with me, I feel numb,
But when you are with me, I feel dumb.
No matter what's said or done, you're always right-
Once again you've won, I try not to fight.

How can I fix what's wrong
When I don't know who or what is wrong?
I just wanna know, how can I make things
Like they were a year ago?

My opinions --- insignificant, inferior;
Outside freshly painted, inside I feel wearier,
The world feels alright for a week,
We fight --- the world shines so bleak.

How can I fix what's wrong
When I can't tell who or what is wrong?
Let me know, how can I make things like they were
A year ago?

How can I patch this hole inside?
Every day it grows even more wide.
Maybe if you had put aside your pride,
I wouldn't have always cried.

So throw me a first aid kit,
This baby needs to heal.
I know I shouldn't give a shit,
But I just can't control how I feel.

How can we fix what's wrong?
What is it about us that's so wrong?
I'm begging you, tell me how to make things
Like they were
Just a year ago?

He looks at her from the back,
Enjoying her features
Yet not giving her freckled face
Or dainty heart a single chance.
He looks at her from the front,
Relishing in her voluptuous bosom.

A night spent with sweat and desire,
Backs scratched raw and tension relieved.

Yet still the absence of affection,
Of tenderness,
Is trapped within the broken capillaries
Of the bruise left on her neck.
