pieces: so now i see what you’re saying a little more clearly. i don’t know how long you should wait. no one can tell you that…you’ll know when enough is enough…at least i hope you will. so here i go again with the lyrics…maybe these words of wisdom/bitterness/pain/whatever will answer some of your questions…or get you to ask more.

i know–fiona apple

So be it, IÂ’m your crowbar
If thatÂ’s what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I donÂ’t know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
IÂ’ll know, IÂ’ll know
And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
IÂ’ll know, IÂ’ll know
Baby-I canÂ’t help you out,
So for the time being, IÂ’m being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If youÂ’ll just consider this-even if it donÂ’t make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And youÂ’ve early closed your curtains,
IÂ’ll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
ItÂ’s ok, donÂ’t need to say it.
