Vanessa Peters - The State I'm Living In Lyrics
The audacity of calling meTo ask how I amThe capacity you have for telling meThat if I put my mind to it then I canWhen it was a simple, post-marked letterYou dropped one morning in the mailAs easy as finding a stampAnd sending us a fond farewellThe ferocity of the big bad wolfDisguised as a little lambThe monstrosity of how easily you said to meYou certainly hoped I'd understandAnd it was a simple, foolish attemptAt getting me to see the lightAs easy as kissing my cheekThen telling me goodnightThe generosity of you telling meI wasn't just an also-ranIs tempered by the animosity that I feelWhen I realize I was just your back-up planThese are the citiesThese are the citiesAnd this is the stateI'm living inThe curiosity of you telling meI'd always be your best friendAnd the tenacity required of meTo grit my teeth and let go of your handThese are the citiesThese are the citiesAnd this is the stateI'm living in
