Best Laid Plans II

«The best laid plans of mice and men,»
Is always what your mother said
«Don't even think about it
You’re better off dead»
«The love you take is equal to…»
Your father always sang to you
I hope that he meant it
But I don’t think he had a clue
That one day, we’d be sitting in this hallway
Shards of glass anchored between our feet
Our heads in our hands, our bodies trembling
The both of us aching for sleep
But months ago, I promised you
I would never dare to
Let us go to bed angry
Can you feel the resentment building?
So now that we’re sitting in this hallway
Shards of glass anchored between our feet
Our heads in our hands, our bodies trembling
The both of us accepting our defeat
I said, «Let's just talk about it in the morning,»
And hope you’ll ignore the aggressive way I speak
«Tomorrow, we’ll be much clearer headed
For now, let’s just go to sleep»
