Please Don't Try to Explain

Please Don't Try to Explain

You could be any place
don't know how long will I ever see your face
I look for you in mixed company
I heard that you even left the country

You're just a poet in some wise man's clothes
and you slept around yeah everybody knows
I tried to call you but I got that witch
now they're saying that I'm some kinda bitch

They say you're doing well very well
well I tell them they can all go to hell
you can't understand this kind of pain
please don't try to explain

I'm talking to myself in a basement hole
I used to be so hot now I'm so damn cold
I cut myself with an old steak knife
you gave the razors to your brand new wife

You were whispering in someone else's ear
while you were waiting for me to appear
you love the stage in your many many plays
you're shooting seconds while I linger in the days

They say you wrote a song just for her
Now she's your sex kitten it'll really make her purr
I tripped while walking to the garbage can
you're writing love while I'm saying damn

They say you're doing well very well
well I tell them all that they can just go to hell
you can't understand this kind of pain
Please don't try to explain

This is a new song -- it's really a work in progress. I will probably revise this one a lot.

I look forward to reading it in its 'final' form, Natalie, but even more to one day hearing you sing it. I'd like to hear it now :D ! I really like the interplay you've given between the opposites/dichotomies in the two's positions and perspectives.

"I tripped while walking to the garbage can
you're writing love while I'm saying damn"

is only one of many, but I'm not going to quote your whole song. I can just tell you that I really like it. You very effectively show his [apparent] 'nature' vs. her sincerity and pain.
