Fools for Gold

I could sit at the bus stop in the snow
but i wouldn't know where to go
my shoes are worn down to the soul
only i can tell
they fit so well

the town is up and gone at nine
everyone's always out on time
am i supposed to fall in line
it's always Monday
the road is one-way

I've spent far too long inside
living a pretender's paradise
all this time i let it slide
and i've come to realize

I never imagined i'd be here
and i'm sorry baby
but every time
I think back and rewind
I see how everything's unclear
and amiss

The rope I wear you went and bought
You said you'd always leave it taut
and now the net you wove has caught
the fools for gold
but your kiss is cold

Every day it looks like rain
the colors never seem to change
and i'm about to go insane
you wonder why
I never cry

I didn't Sign Up for This

It really isn't living
yeah, this thing that we're doing
it's unfair
I may be forgiving
but you're pushing us to ruin
you don't care

The pulling and the prying
"where ya been all night?"
is just too much
The scheme you've been tryin
has you crumble in the fight, and
i'm no crutch

But you're cleaning out the cupboards
leaving everything you own on the bedroom floor
and baby i know you're stubborn
but you've never seen me hold my own before

I'm clearing out your shelf
you think you're something else
that i could not resist
Ooo...i didn't sign up for this

I wont be your backbone
i'm not your mother, no
certainly not your maid
i thought you were full grown
when i invested brother
i overpaid

Your chances aren't infinite
with everything you do
i'm on the run
this time my word is definite
you're time is through
and mine's just begun
