once the first
tear hits your face
the dam breaks
drowns like a river

like a curse it sticks to you
slipping in
out of view
or out of you

argue and argue again
test your friends
bitter ends
better than

you thought that you'd got away
not today, not again
follows you every new place
what's in you, not them

thought i'd heard
all these words
somewhere else
or someone else

like a curse that threatens you
holds your fear
draws you near
they never listen

argue and argue again
test your friends
bitter ends
better than
fate that lost you long ago
better show
better ends
bitter then

you thought that you'd got away
not today, not again
follows you every new place
what's in you, not them
