you have told me before
that it's just not enough
and I thought I understood
understood all of the stuff

that you were saying
trying to share your pain
but after yesterday
i have to think back again

it was not enough for me yesterday
and that's how you said you were feeling
nothing would have ever been enough
with the hurt that I was feeling

I was full of rage
and turned it on myself
I took what was precious
and put it on a shelf

so that i could come back to it
once the rage had passed
untouched by the anger
that seemed that forever it would last

is that what you do too?
put it on a shelf
something to come back to?

I think I understand you better now
and I think that I'm getting it
what you are going through
in those times everything turns to ****

look me up
when you are feeling that way
I can better understand
what you need me to say
