You Can Call Me

You can call me when you're in a better humor.
You can call me when you realize what you've done.
It isn't funny how you make a scratch a tumor.
You can blame me, but I'm not the only one.

You can tell me all the times you really were sorry,
And I know the way you grind your teeth at night.
I know you mean it, but you do what you want to do anyway,
Then you apologize and you think that makes things right.

I told you that I'd be myself,
And that's the way I've been,
But you never try be yourself at all.
You'd rather look for a shadow where no one's been,
Find a hole and crawl right in.

I told you that I'm just myself,
The way I've always been,
But you never seem to be yourself at all.
You'd rather look for a shadow where no one's been,
Aim at a target that you can pin,
Find a hole and crawl right in,
But if that's your answer you'll fall right in.

You should call me 'cause I know that you really want to
And to tell the truth, I really wish you would.
You know it kills me, when I see all these stupid things haunt you.
It's still just me, and I've always understood.
