Blue Rodeo - Cause For Sympathy lyrics

rate me

Sometimes you lose your head<br />

Think of all the stupid things you've said<br />

Pouring out of your mouth<br />

Like rain through a broken windowpane<br />

Nobody made you do it<br />

There's a hoop and you jump through it<br />

You made this mess all by yourself<br />

What did you say?<br />

I thought I said everything there was for me to say<br />

How could you know?<br />

I looked into her eyes, I thought they were telling me so<br />

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy<br />

I took my chances, eyes wide open<br />

Stayed too long and the spell was broken<br />

Nobody wants to see<br />

The mess you become so easily<br />

Crawling around and singing your sad songs<br />

Late into the night<br />

Must be the words you're choosing<br />

The unconvincing smile you're using<br />

Try and try again, you can't get it right<br />

What did you do?<br />

I poured my heart out til my words filled the room<br />

How did it go?<br />

She smiled and took my hand, said it's all just a little too soon.<br />

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy<br />

Save your tears, I never earned them<br />

Lessons are there, but I never learn them at all<br />

Every night the same old game<br />

Fumbling around for some stranger's name<br />

Or going out of your mind<br />

Waiting for the phone to finally ring<br />

I know life can be so messy<br />

But you can't spend all your time confessing<br />

Try saving something for yourself<br />

What did you say?<br />

I thought I said everything there was for me to say<br />

How could you know?<br />

I looked into her crying eyes, they were telling me so<br />

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy<br />

Save your breath, I never listen<br />

You think I don't know something's missing<br />

But now I'll wait and see<br />

How it all turns out for me<br />

It's not as painful as they tell you<br />

Some success in every failure<br />

Now I know I can handle the pain<br />

I'll stand here waiting, hope it all happens again
