Any More Than I Could Understand

(专辑： First Love Last Rites - 1989)

I've seen your progress, stamped out on a bill
You don't look hungry, only more fat for the kill
Where is the time we spent, it seemed so real
Guess I was mistaken

I thought your world might be worth knowing
Cause you take it like a man
(No, I can't conceal the wounds you've opened)
No, I can't conceal the wounds you've opened, baby
Any more than I could understand
Any more

No, matter how I try, can't fault your success
Makers of their destiny must always
Deal so close to the vest
Take it before it's gone, and listen good
Just in case you've forgotten

I forced you up to keep from crawling
When you did not have a chance
(I can't blame you for not recalling)
I can't blame you for not recalling, baby
Any more than I could understand

I knew the risk that I was taking
That I would not try again
Oh, I can't believe the life you're chasing, baby
Any more than I could understand
Any more than I could understand
I know, I know, I know, I know
Any more than I
