i wonder how you think

i wonder how you think

A Poem by Jake Martin

tell me where you've gone
it seems to me that all the things you said were just plain lies
but i try to give the credit where it's due, put it aside
for we are all just human

but the song remains the same
you tell me that you love me then you turn your back again
i don't know why i care because i've got nothing to gain
it's just a flicker of hope that's keeping me up now

and i've been there for hours at a time
turn me around so i know you're alright
the all time that has just passed us
it passed us right by
just drifted on by

and i can see that you've been praying
to holy figures, nature, and the like
but the fact of the matter still is
nothing can save you even if they'd like

you should see the look on your face
when i told you that it's done
oh imagine my great surprise
to find out you were bluffing, oh the next day you were gone because

you always act as if too much is not enough
always act as if too much is not enough
you always act as if too much is not enough
well not this time, girl

do you see that guy in the trech coat?
i can tell he's really into you
but veni vidi vici seems to be your motto
so nevermind, in five weeks you'll be through

i'd like to tell you all
i'd like to tell you how i learn to cope with the disease
the time that you were laughing in my arms is just a dream
and one i won't forget real soon
