yeah yeah yeah
i get it now
you fell off the face of the earth
thanks for letting me in on it
thanks for the heads-up
thanks for the warning
not that i have ever really
learned to expect anything
i'm conditioned to disappointment
and that's okay for now
it's gotten me through many years
and will help me to survive
through countless years ahead
there is a lot of gray understanding
a faint understatement
a logical explanation
something that keeps me waiting
and i'm praying that you're safe
alive and well
driving on the highway
on your way home
thinking of anything and everyone
all except me
i don't think i've ever crossed your mind
not today
not yesterday
i won't grace your daydreams tomorrow
never tomorrow
never never
this is nothing new to me
unfortunate as it seems
but that's the honest truth
