Grinding Wheel Lyrics

Seems I made an error in believin'
It's all above the table
Everybody's even

'Cause there must be something
You've been hiding
That keeps me hurtin'
Keeps me smilin'

Tidal wave
You'll sweep me to my grave
Washing over my
Like a sea of blades

But I will not pretend
That I don't like it
I'll build a little home
Somewhere inside it

Careful how you shake it now
You got me by the heart

Careful how you shake it now
You got me by the heart

Scarlet letters
'More of 'em the better
I will be your Dimmesdale
You can be my Hester

Some might disagree
But we pay no heed

Told you twice no more advice
You got me by the heart

How am I supposed to feel?
You got me in that grinding wheel
Sayin' first comes love and then comes marriage
But your love's so heavy that it might just bury me

He says she says
Play with me at recess
When the bell rings there's nothing guarantied

'Cause the games we play
Don't have any rules
Per se

Tried to live with you but all
The pieces came apart
Tried to live without you
But it got so very hard

So where does that leave us?
Where does that leave us?

And how, and how, and how..

How am I supposed to feel?
You got me in that grinding wheel
Singin' first comes love and then comes marriage
But your love's like fire and I might get burned
