Is There Something I Should Know

Careless Memories

So soon

Just after you've gone

My senses sharpen

But it always takes

So damned long

Before I feel how much

My eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke

Drifting in our room

So easy to disturb

With a thought

With a whisper

With a careless memory

On the table

Signs of love lie scattered

And the walls break

With a crashing within

It's not as though--

As though you really mattered

But being close

How could I let you go

Without some feeling

Some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke

Drifting in our room

So easy to disturb

With a thought

With a whisper

With a careless memory

I walk out into the sun

I try to find a new day

But the whole place

It just screams in my eyes

Where are you now

Cuz I don't want to meet you

I think I'd die--

I think I'd laugh at you--

I think I'd cry--

What am I supposed to do

Follow you

Outside the thoughts

Come flooding back now

I just try to forget you

So easy to disturb

With a thought

With a whisper

With a careless memory
