Pea

That man's attention may well have been lost But what good did it bring anyway If one day you might dare to ask what he liked about you He'd find nothing to say Skimming woman-shaped stones across the lake Barely taking time to feel their edge Never noticing their unique patterns He just wants to make a splash That man's affection may well have been fake But then he never had what it takes High time to admit that you might well have been But a mere stepping stone in his life Digging up rocky memories from the past No need to go deep to make it ache Doesn't take the time to get to know you He just wants to excavate He turned you inside out Shrunk you down to a small green pea Now you live under his mattress Weaving his bad dreams Haunting his sleep Oh who am I kidding It's he who's haunting me That man's profession may seem more important Than you'd ever dream to be Just one little brick in the wall of his skyscraper tower Built of heartless concrete Giant boulders still one day end in sand Giant steps won't reach that promised land Set alight that home that you were building He just wants to crash and burn He turned you inside out Shrunk you down to a small green pea Now you live under his mattress Appear in his nightmares Wrecking his sleep He turned you inside out Shrunk you down to a tiny pea Now you live under his mattress Weaving his bad dreams Haunting his sleep Oh who am I kidding It's he who's haunting me
