Soon

I can't let you sweep me off my feet just yet
 When they've only just landed firm on the ground
 And I'm so tired of being messed around
 You've watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess
 Well, maybe you could wait for me, I'll do my best
 To get out of this dreary place
 I'll have to face this loneliness
 I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she
 She and my father still laugh together, see
 See, I'd like to have real love someday
 And I'd like to get past this heartbreak, soon
 I feel like I'm living when I smell his cigarette smoke
 Rich and bitter and yesterday I couldn't stop remembering him
 Oh, what a waste of breath and time
 I've been hiding my tears from my mother and she
 She and my father still laugh together, see
 See, I'd like to have real love some day
 And I'd like to get past this heartbreak, soon
 I'd like to have real love someday
 And I'd like to get past this heartbreak, soon
