I know you're pleased
You think you've made it harder to breathe
But you're not in the way
I think we're getting better each day
Because we were aligned
Our novels kept us close and confined
But then you made your move
We were slowly getting stuck up
Just to prove
Surely, you'll see
These books have torn the heart right out of me
But I have not come
To show you how the beast in me has won
I thought I came to help
I thought I came to send you back to school
I thought I came to try
To try to talk some sense right into you
But you're not from around here
And we were born to bleed
The friends you think you've found here
Are not the friends you need
I think you're out of line
If you think you're growing up
It's funny now we're older
And you're the one whose stuck
Surely, you see
These books have torn the heart right out of me
But I have not come
To show you how the beat in me has won
I thought I came to help
I thought I came to send you back to school
I thought I came to try
To try to talk some sense right into you
