The Ringing in My Ears

Think about those books you read and I wonder if they make you think about me

Maybe if the hero dies or kisses other girls and tries to justify his reasons why

Set the stage for make believe, I said I'm not your father and I'll never leave

I'll just stay and make it worse and keep your life from going on it's natural course

Think about those songs you play and wonder if the words help you to stay

Maybe if the melody is filled with both the pain and the ecstasy of loving me
