You turned your head as you went to bed and I know there's things that I should not have said, but I needed you.
And I hope that I shouldn't take the blame, but when morning came you had changed your name and it suited you, if not eluded you.
And I had always said, "I keep thinking in my head, that they should simply say goodbye and go their different ways." And she would then reply without looking in my eye, "that doesn't seem a very understanding thing to do".

They found each other years before, when the mushrooms sat them on forest floor, they were different then.
Then a lake slid between them and maybe a rock, but they made all this work without checking the clock, just being happy...being happy.
And from time to time I'd say,"is this getting in your way? Have you really thought of all the things you might be giving up?"
And to this he would reply, "but when i look into her eyes, all i see is everything that I'd be giving up.
"
Now I understand when the feelings in demand, it can be like turning tattered pages of a book; And with every one I've tried, I get lost when I'm inside, till I finally come around and take a look.
And although I wish he'd try, I can't see it with his eye, and I guess I'll have to trust that this makes better sense then blame.
It's just always hard when you think you've got the card, and you realize you never stopped to learn to play the game.
