The Ringing in My Ears

Think about those books you read and I wonder if they make you think about me
Maybe if the hero dies or kisses other girls and tries to justify his reasons
why
Set the stage for make believe, I said I’m not your father and I’ll never leave
I’ll just stay and make it worse and keep your life from going on it’s natural
course
Think about those songs you play and wonder if the words help you to stay
Maybe if the melody is filled with both the pain and the ecstasy of loving me
