The Last Argument

I've tried so hard to understand you
I don't mean to reprimand you
but your outlook on life is too confusing
it borders on using
because you throw up too many defenses
and it all just seems so senseless

You know I'm beginning to realize
each time I look into your eyes
that maybe we're too defective
you're just too damn protective
of your feelings and your being
and until you really start seeing
what we've become and who you are
we just wont go that far

More and more each time you come around
I wonder if you even made a sound
back then
back when
you used to suckle from your mama's breast
milk flowing to your mouth from her chest
were you that expressionless
unable to confess
any love for another
not even your mother

Do you have nothing to say
when I tell you I feel this way
are you so unable to give in
make this a mutual win
something for the both of us
to show that you to do trust
we're going to make it through this time
you're going to remain mine
