what a beautiful piece of heartache this has all turned out to be lord knows we ve learned the hard way all about healthy apathy i use these words pretty loosely there s so much more to life than words there is a me you would not recognize dear call it the shadow of myself and if the music starts before i get there dance without me you dance so gracefully i really think i ll be okay they ve taken a toll these latter days nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails nothing much here but our broken dream oh but baby if all else fails nothing is ever quite what it seems and i m dying inside to leave you with more than just cliches there is a me you would not recognize dear call it the shadow of myself and if the music starts before i get there dance without me you dance so gracefully i really think i ll be okay they ve taken their toll these latter days they ve taken their toll these latter days tell them it s real tell them it s really real i just don t have much left to say they ve taken their toll these latter days they ve taken their toll these latter days
