lyrics

There’s writing on the wall, but I can’t read it
Won’t you tell me what it said
Living isn’t easy so you might as well dream it
Don’t tell me what it meant

I wouldn’t if I could, but I can’t, so what?
So what do you want me to do?
I don’t want to feel like I lost your love
I’d fall apart if it wasn’t for you

So what’s it all about?
Baby, I forget
We want the pleasure but we don’t want the debt?
This could be as easy as it’s ever going to get
I don’t know
I never have

There’s something to be said for keeping your mouth shut
Oh, leave it to the dead
It is what it is until it isn’t what it was
Don’t tell me how it ends

I wouldn’t, if I could, but I can’t, so what?
So what do you want me to say?
I don’t want to feel like I lost it all /
I fall apart when you look the other away

So what’s it all about?
Baby, I forget
We want the treasure but don’t want the threat?
This could be as easy as it’s ever going to get
I don’t know
I never have

So what’s it all about?
Baby, I forget
Living isn’t easy
Don’t tell me how it ends
There’s writing on the wall
Just tell me what it says
