Defeat Lyrics

If you don’t want to feel it
All you have to do is wait
The pain will be inflicted in some other eventual way

I made it home
Too tired to cry
Loose quarters in a pile on the bedside
I’ll never live to see the day

I admit it I am defeated
I couldn’t get you out
Couldn’t beat it
Shame on me, I couldn’t even see it
I’m inside it after all

When things are bad between us
It is hard to face the day
When things are feeling easy it is hard
In a different sort of way

I play it back
I say I’m free
Still I wake up in another man’s dream
I can’t remember
What it was supposed to mean

I admit it, I am defeated
I couldn’t get you out
Couldn’t beat it
Shame on me, I couldn’t even see it
I’m inside it after all

So this is how it feels to be living inside of a dream
Trying to build a world between the things I say
And what you think they mean

Can we believe, can we break through
Can we be brave enough to tell the whole truth
That I never should have given all that much to you

I admit it, I am defeated
I couldn’t get you out, couldn’t beat it
Shame on me, I couldn’t even see it
I’m inside it after all
I’m inside it after all
I’m inside it after all
(I say I’m free)
