Shelter

(album: Bad Mother Trucker - 2002)

If I lose all respect for you
Can I still call you friend?
Why expose myself to disappointment
Over and over again?
The cycle has to end

Can someone give me shelter
From the pouring rain?
If the water washed your lies away
Maybe I could trust you again
If anything remained

I'm tired of masking anger
With humor and diplomacy
I want to scream out all the fucked up things
We both know about you
Embrace the honesty

Can someone give me shelter
From the pouring rain?
If the water washed your lies away
Maybe I could trust you again
If anything remained

I'm sick of the pain
Give me one good reason
To believe that you'll change

I wonder how we got this far
After all these years I still don't know who you are
Like a dream I've fallen down
I need to wake up before I hit the ground

If the water washed you away
Could I be myself again?
If the water washed you away
Could I be myself again?
If the water washed you away
Could I be myself again?
