getting through

i can’t seem to get it right
i just can’t get things right
it seems that i have a hard time these days
a hard time
getting through

so now here we stand
both at our own impass
but i’ve done my work
i’ve torn down walls
i’ve faced you on
and still you stand
your back to me

but i guess everyone has their demons
and i guess everyone has their own sharp edges to work through
i guess by now i’d thought that yours would be more smoothed over
and your troubles would be more few

there’s a world that says things will come out ok
and there’s a world that says all i need to do is try
but there’s a mind inside this head that’s learned the hard way
that’s not always true
so i guess that’s one thing i learned from you

but i know everyone has their demons
and everyone has their rough edges to work through
i know i’ve got mine and you’ve got yours
hell, you’ve got yours
i suppose you’re entitled to

so maybe this is my resignation
god knows i’ve worked so very hard for you
and we both know i don’t give up, i don’t give over
but it’s hurting me now, and it’s probably hurting you

so i know that everyone has their own demons
and i know that everyone has their own sharp edges to work through
so look me up
call me over
when you’ve worked yours through.
