CONSUMED BY YOU

You don’t know me like you think you do

Or like i thought so too…well, okay

If you want to, you can look and find

Some new part of my mind every day

Why guess my thoughts and deeds? that’s what you’ll expect

Just let me give them, let them be what they are, leave them to rest

When my presence you no longer need,

When you know what i’m going to do,

When my every movement’s guaranteed

I’ve been totally consumed by you

You don’t hear me when i talk to you

The style without the stuff hits your ear

Too much passion, you say, is in my voice

Although my words of choice are all clear

There’s a time to be tender, a time to be tough

I decide when i am reasonable, i choose when i’m rough!

When my voice you can no longer hear,

When i’ve nothing to say that’s new,

When i must walk and talk on eggs with fear,

I’ve been totally consumed by you

You don’t see me till i make mistakes

Then, once again, my face disappears

I’m a ghost now, haunting you day and night

No other way, not fright, to break clear

Trapped in a motal coil, i eat and i sleep,

Scream, shout, kick, flail, jump up and down

You look through me and can’t hear a peep!

When my face you can no longer see,

When there’s no more of me that’s new,

When you can have time with me absentee,

I’ve been totally consumed by you
