Critical Times - Quarter Flash

All the trouble I make through the things I do
They keep catching up with me
They [incomprehensible]
I don't always know when I'm right
But I sure know when I'm wrong
I'm feeling self pity and yet
Still writing sad, stupid songs

She says, "You say what you want
Do what you say
These are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops
And we can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading away"

You lose all track of yourself
When you're feeling that way
You could always hide yourself in corners
Worrying about all the miserable things, but
Everyone seems to swim in it
It makes the world go round
I'm somewhere floundering
Feeling like I've been drowned

So I say what I want
And I do what I say
These are critical times
Love is fading away
I can go through the tops
And I can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading

I don't believe in much
And I never gave it time
To tell anybody how I'm willing to give to them
All my life, yeah
I don't believe it
She has a look there in her eyes
She's trying to get through to me
She's gonna stick this out one last time

So you're cruising down the road of life
Should be feeling strong
You never had the feeling yet
And it always leads you all wrong
You're best when you grab hold of yourself
Since you know you're gonna fall
You can check out on me any time that you like
Love is bittersweet, that's all

So we say what we want
And we do what we say
These are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops
And we can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading

Come on, say what you want
(Come on and say what you want)
Do what you say
(You do what you do by now)
These are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops
(We go through the tops)
And we can live through these games
It never changes how we feel
