how can i tell you the truth
when you don’t want to hear about meanings
you can't even hear about proof
when lines aren’t so liberally moved
you can stay in your memory
you might say it’s the worst you can do
rebecca you are on my mind
and when you said the past is best left behind
we say the wrong things at the wrongest of times but my darling rebecca you were mine
the moment you mention love
you’ll know it’s a wasted effort
'cause she never breathes the word
and you’ll stick the knife in your own back
now i am not pausing for your faith
you can melt in the middle if you want
i can’t even get around words
highlights of earth and where were you
you can speak in your riddles all you want
i can’t even talk about you
rebecca, you know my face
and when you’ve grown old and i am spaced
we’ll dream of the steps we can never retrace
rebecca we’re so easily replaced
so don’t even mention love
you know it’s the vainest effort
and she’ll never breathe the words
so you’ll stick the knife in your own back
i guess i’m getting my own back
