Heartworms

Intro   La   la   la la la    verse 1   Well I guess I’m just here to test your patience   Cause you’re so smart my tricks don’t work at all   Is it my lack of education?    Just tell me why you never call   verse 2   Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference   There are those who own their minds and those who crawl   No offense but in between the lines I’m reading   You look out for your own and you ain’t gonna look at me that way     Pre-Chorus   And it’s true      So what can I do?   Anything to get some of your affection   (What can I do?)   Maybe impress you with a song   (What can I do?)   I’m trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain’t no one like you     Break                  verse 3   I found that postcard from that trip you took to Thailand   I remember studying all the words writ in your pretty hand   The little lines the little curves held a sacred meaning   Or so I thought but I had it wrong   verse 4   Now I’m trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms   I feel them wriggling in my blood you gonna do me harm   Right now I’d rather lose this losing feeling    That came on when you cooled off   Started treating me in this friendly way    Pre-Chorus   And it’s true      So what can I do?   Oh won’t you be still for a moment   (What can I do?)   So I can push a feather through your heart   (What can I do?)   I’m trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain’t no one like you                  So what can I do?   When I get lonely to distraction   (What can I do?)   Maybe impress you with a song   (What can I do?)   No easy way aound it   You’re the saddest dream that ever came true       Outro   La  la  la  la     La la  la  la  la
