Nine Words

I been coming around here for years
 The furniture's moved, but the same faces still appear
 I can tell my calendar days by the
 Prices that they set on the domestic beer
 Now farewells are becoming an acquired taste
 The mirror's been presenting an unfamiliar face
 I can no longer disguise the surprise in my eyes
 I guess I did not expect to end up in this place
 What is expected that really occurs
 Decisions dissected still don't reverse
 Try not to resist head down the abyss
 Let yourself fall to see what truly exists
 Hopefully you'll find that what you desire
 But if love is what you need my dear
 Here's what I require
 Give me just nine words before we fall
 Love my faults, or don't love me at all
 Because the man that you care deeply for today
 Is in long for this world and tomorrow
 He'll become just another victim of change
 See I tried my best to stay the same
 I failed, but I took it in a different way
 Ya see, there's no escape from your date with fate
 You always paid, but the bitch is never late
 So embrace it, enjoy it, don't waste it, implore you
 There's no swaying what you cannot help
 You're just not selling what's not on the shelf
 Don't seat it to hard or you'll lose yourself
 And give me just nine words before we fall
 Love my faults, or don't love me at all
 Because the man that you care deeply for today
 Is in long for this world and tomorrow
 He'll become just another victim of change
 And give me just nine words before we fall
 Love my faults, or don't love me at all
 Because the man that you care deeply for today
 Is in long for this world and tomorrow
 He'll become just another victim of change
