where do they end
the smoke rings i send
....


i know you knew it.
otherwise you'd never been acting so defensively.
so it's okay i guess
we do things that are irrational
throughout our lives.

everybody around us knew too
they knew
and didn't understand why
you didn't
nobody did
why in the world i stayed
for so long

so who am i to blame anyone!?
i have to look at myself again
and ask myself, why, why
don't you do something that is good for you!?
why don't you
why don't you
why don't you
do
something that is good
for you.
