"Soon" lyrics

I can't let you sweep me off my feet just yet
When they've only just landed firm on the ground
And I'm so tired of being messed around
You've watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess
So maybe you could wait for me, I'll do my best
To get out of this dreary place
I'll have to face this loneliness

I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she
She and my father still laugh together, see
I'd like to have real love someday
And I'd like to get past this heartbreak soon

I feel like I'm living when I smell of cigarette smoke
Rich and bitter, and yesterday I couldn't stop remembering him
Oh, what a waste of breath and time

I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she
She and my father still laugh together, see
I'd like to have real love someday
And I'd like to get past this heartbreak soon
