A cassette that can’t fix
The times the things that I missed
There wasn’t enough
To let you know
To let you go
When we sat there and listened
To the music I begged and insisted
On that cassette that took so long to get set
Now its just words that took
Time from us when I mistook
Your contrition for an admission
Of guilt but I really know you don’t feel
The way I always wanted you to feel
You’ll never be able to feel
The way that I always wanted you to feel
Now I listen again
And pretend that you could sit through it
That you took to it, that we were closer than even I thought
That the time wasn’t wasted just because you’re gone
That my life’s not wasted with all the things that you make me run from
But then it played and you still stayed
Through the whole tape
Despite the way you couldn’t take
The times the things that I missed
There wasn’t enough
To let you know
To let you go
When we sat there and listened
To the music I begged and insisted
On that cassette that took so long to get set
Now its just words that took
Time from us when I mistook
Your contrition for an admission
Of guilt but I really know you don’t feel
The way I always wanted you to feel
You’ll never be able to feel
The way that I always wanted you to feel
Now I listen again
And pretend that you could sit through it
That you took to it, that we were closer than even I thought
That the time wasn’t wasted just because you’re gone
That my life’s not wasted with all the things that you make me run from
But then it played and you still stayed
Through the whole tape
Despite the way you couldn’t take
