The Alarmist

You left gleaming A green rectangle around the door Please be careful What you wish for I whisper to myself Then I'm spinning it half around Like an echo A faraway sound Saying, "Be good to me" Be good to me Marigold in the garden My heart is out in the garbage I am being An alarmist 'Cause for as far as I see Is terrible territory And there's no one To reassure me So it would be good to talk For my sanity Now do what you feel like you gotta do But be good to me Now when you walk away You still exist and I feel good knowing it If it hurts me Why'd I rely so much on in the first place If it's happening Then why's this feeling taking over me Can I believe In the me before I knew you beautifully Can I believe In the me before I knew you beautifully Can I believe In the me before I'm lost on yesterday Can I believe In the me before I knew you beautifully (Can I believe)
