I

Fought the angels here today

Hope

My defeat will end this play

Everybody knows that

I only have myself to blame

Everybody knows that

Softly, softly wins the game



Trust

I'll try to learn again

My words

Are seldom for a friend



Knew

At the time that they came out

Wish

I could have them disallowed

Everybody knows that

We say things we do not mean

Everybody knows that

We say things that are unclean



Trust

I'll try to learn again

My words

Are seldom for a friend



Run

Conversations in my head

Write

My own scripts to dish the dread

And if I speak out loud

I will have to change the rules

For speaking's out of bounds

If it's practised by a fool



Trust

I'll try to learn again

My words

Are seldom for a friend

So lend me

An ear to lean upon

To speak to

And learn my speaking from
