The Ides of March - Silverstein

Tie me up with sheets

And hang me from your tree

I’ll stay out here all night

It doesn’t even matter

As long as I can see

Into your room and feel

Like I’m inside your life

I’ll follow you forever

Don’t cut me down just yet

I’ll make things right again

Don’t close your blinds on me, on me

I will never recover from this

I will never believe in this again

And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

The snow won’t go away, my nose runs down my face

No one sees me here, it doesn’t even matter

And every step I take, I stay in the same place

I can’t begin to start again, why can’t I just be perfect?

I will never recover from this

I will never believe in this again

And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

I will never recover from this

I will never believe in this again

And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

You see my ghost and you’ll never forget it

My face is as white as the snow that haunts me

Your window’s my door and nothing can stop me

Sometimes betrayal can make you happy

Don’t cut me down just yet

I’ll make things right again

Don’t close your blinds on me, on me

I will never recover from this

I will never believe in this again

And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started

I will never recover from this

I will never believe in this again

And I can never go back to the way I used to be before this started
