Blue Rodeo - Cause For Sympathy Lyrics
Sometimes you lose your headThink of all the stupid things you've saidPouring out of your mouthLike rain through a broken windowpaneNobody made you do itThere's a hoop and you jump through itYou made this mess all by yourselfWhat did you say?I thought I said everything there was for me to sayHow could you know?I looked into her eyes, I thought they were telling me soNow I don't want to be your cause for sympathyI took my chances, eyes wide openStayed too long and the spell was brokenNobody wants to seeThe mess you become so easilyCrawling around and singing your sad songsLate into the nightMust be the words you're choosingThe unconvincing smile you're usingTry and try again, you can't get it rightWhat did you do?I poured my heart out til my words filled the roomHow did it go?She smiled and took my hand, said it's all just a little too soon.Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathySave your tears, I never earned themLessons are there, but I never learn them at allEvery night the same old gameFumbling around for some stranger's nameOr going out of your mindWaiting for the phone to finally ringI know life can be so messyBut you can't spend all your time confessingTry saving something for yourselfWhat did you say?I thought I said everything there was for me to sayHow could you know?I looked into her crying eyes, they were telling me soNow I don't want to be your cause for sympathySave your breath, I never listenYou think I don't know something's missingBut now I'll wait and seeHow it all turns out for meIt's not as painful as they tell youSome success in every failureNow I know I can handle the painI'll stand here waiting, hope it all happens again
