Down in the basement, locked in my head Are all of the words that I wish you had said You're so impatient, asleep on my bed Dreaming we left it and made love instead But there's still some problems that I need to cure So turn on the light, babe, let's find where it hurts Cause I'd love to love you, but I'm still unsure And each time we fight, babe, we're only making it worse And you know that I know that you know That I gave you more than I should I guess that means love ain't always so good The floorboards are creaking, the sun's going down You're watching me speaking, but won't make a sound I'm fighting this feeling that we're falling through The less that you offer, the more that I lose So just throw me a bone, babe, and shoulder my pain Why do we suffer to hide from our shame When it's not like we'll live like this ever again So come on now, darling, and try to just treat me the same Cause I know that you know that I know That I gave you more than I should I guess that means love ain't always so good I guess that means love ain't always so good
