The Next Situation

You said, "It is time to accept our decisions
Leave the blood on our hands and deal with our division
We've both made mistakes, we've reached resignation
And it seems that emnity is the next situation."

You've told me some lies, but you're telling the truth now
I confess I don't like it but it is beyond doubt
Behind it you'd like to blame me for your cruelty
But in this arena who can define dignity?

It can be hard to deal with such rapid change
In retrospect our relationship seems much less strange
We both have priorities, good and bad recollections
I can be as strong going this way as the previous direction.

You share more of this wisdom, "We've reached the last station
And now it is time to yield to this temptation
So if you are bleeding," but I'm not paying attention
I can be as strong going this way as the previous direction.
