Maybe if you didn't mind so much
Maybe if you didn't sting to the touch
Maybe if you let things go
Maybe if you listened when we say so
Maybe if you didn't lose all you kept
Maybe if you didn't put our trust in debt
Maybe if you weren't so fickle
Maybe if you stopped to hear it trickle
All equal we were made
A paper face is all you parade
We'd never live it down
To accept your changes all around
Maybe if you don't put attitudes to heart
Maybe if you don't hold a knife to cut
Maybe if you don't separate lock and key
Maybe if you don't state what you want thee
None is perfect, perfect is none
Where there's a million you want a tonne
Where things come we prefer to not
Mention the name that jumps to thought
Maybe if you didn't state your preferred drill
Maybe if you didn't write words that kill
Maybe if you get used to old and new
This wouldn't have to be written for you
Delete this if you might
Delete this if unpolite
Neither would I feel
If you were dressed in words to kill
