I Can't Believe You - Kevin Devine

I know you’re underneath there

Waiting on an air supply

To feed your darkest secret

The one that’s keeping us alive

You blame me;

I don’t blame you

We’ve traded places over time

Anger’s only fear gone desperate

That’s why I keep an eye on mine

I never know where I should be

But you tell me answers I just can’t believe

I can’t believe you

I can’t believe you now

33!

— I don’t feel that old, but

The calendar can’t tell a lie

Equal measures, sweet & vicious

The story I make of my life

I plead «Peace!»

then build the bomb back

The second that the treaty’s signed

Letting go is an active practice

I’m working at it all the time

You taught me to call worrying work

But that kind of action’s a paralysis curse

I can’t believe you

I can’t believe you now

Back to the door, hands to your head

You said exactly what you meant

I never thought the end was «The End»

I figured that somehow we’d be back here again

I can’t believe you

I can’t believe you now
