Think I'm unkind

But people aren't the way you think they are

They can't remember all the time

What it was you wanted

They paint you out in straight silhouette

But don't you get the picture yet

Why you getting all upset

The worst parts almost over

Three's such a crowd

You ought to tell me what you tell yourself

You ever gonna speak it aloud

Do I have to guess like everyone else

With an iron will to walk the walk

And the glass drawn that can't be moved to talk

Black eyes always watch the clock

The worst parts almost over

You let yourself be froze by death

You think I'm mean 'cause I call you out

You don't know what you're about

The worst parts almost over now

The worst parts almost over now

Now now
