The Beginning of the World Often Comes

Bless all the two-faced disguises
'cause they install doubt in my head
Well, I’m sorry children
No one is here to remember (retrieve you) the one who misplaced you
She was so drunk, teenage, beautiful
Well, I’m sorry, children no one is here for you yet
Oh, but darling, we’ve come to love you
You make us seem normal when all else has failed
The beginning of the world often comes and then crawls out the window
Well, I will not betray these eyes
I will not align myself
I will not forget this
Blackberry jam on the table
Broken dishes and merriment
Well, I’m sorry child
I think I just let you suffer a night with some others
But everyone said you were so sweet
And I’m sorry child, I think I invented you
Oh, but darling, we’ve come to love you
You make us seem normal when all else has failed
The beginning of the world often comes and then crawls out the window
Well, I will not betray these eyes or roll them
I will nto align myself or fess up the problem
It isn’t your smile, it just makes me freeze up and I won’t give in
I will not forget this
Outside the window, the world doesn’t carry on
Outside the window is too far away
You say that I wasn’t there when you needed me and I say that you never were
You say that I wasn’t there when you needed me and I say that you never stayed
to discover that the beginning of the world often comes
