Suddenly

Suddenly
I can barely see you - I can barely feel you - your fading like
the dirt on my TV
I'm feeling kind of scared cause I never get to talk but there's
really nothing good for me to say
You're right to stay away - you're dangerous to me
You push so cleverly just like no others
You don't like other girls - you care about your friends - and you'd
rather have been born as one of your brothers

Suddenly I am "the wrong"
Suddenly I can't be strong
Suddenly I am the man I never meant to be.
I barely know your name I barely know your name even though we have
been living here for years
I'd really like to talk but they took away my tongue and replaced
it with a thousand lonely tears
I'm sorry about your dad I wish he wasn't mean
I really wish I didn't remind you of him
I try my very best but the devil owns my mind and I haven't had
the chance to show you who I am.
Won't you have another cup of tea?
I really have enjoyed our time together
And when I get on back to the prison, will you
Wait for me?
Until I return so suddenly.
