"EVEN THOUGH I KNOW" (CD: MOVE YOURSELF, Band: Live Honey)
Lyrics by Steven Roiphe, © 2000


Even though I know that I'm leaving I just can't cry.
You've taken back my right to believe
and I don't want an eye for an eye.
Even though I hate that you're laughing, I love what it does for my soul.
It shines a light on a meaningful moment
that once fell within my control.


Are you sure that moment has passed?
I'm lost to the world if it has.
If you were me honey how long do you think you would last?


Even though I know there's a season I can't let it enter my mind.
Summer sun gives me blustery reason
I can't trust as far as I drive.
And although I envy your freedom, I can't bear to open the door.
And I've lost my last real sense of dignity
sleeping alone on your floor.


But sleeping beside you was bad.
A whole different way to be sad.
And I can't help but think that you never knew just what you had.


You're probably sorry
and I'm damn sure that I'm sorry too.
Oh . . . . . but it's meaningless . . . . .
Oh it's so much worse than meaningless.
I know that I'm falling
and it's much worse for me to hang on.
But if I move I don't know what I move on to
But if I stay I'm so sure that this feeling
will cleanse me and raise me
it's so strong what else could it do?


Even though I look like a tourist I'm more like a tropical storm.
I race around aimlessly, gather my anger
and break when it's windy and warm.
Even though I feel that I'm breathing, it's hard to believe I'm alive.
I've long lost my passion avoiding affection
that keeps other people alive.


My steps seem to shatter the ground.
I can't trust my sight or my sound.
I wasted my innocence chasing those feelings
you gave me when you were around.
