Between Two Pillars: Hopeless

Hopeless

You tell me that you love me but you better straighten up and see we’re hopeless
Here today and gone tomorrow then you call me up to borrow cause you’re hopeless
You storm away
And then you come back
Wearing two left sandals and a big sunhat
Dressing in the dark
You’re a mile off your mark
And hopeless…

You don’t see the big deal because you’re blind to how I feel – I feel so hopeless
Always insisting you’re so tough then crying when your toe gets stubbed – oh, you’re so hopeless
You got this outlook
And man is it out there!
You tie me down and tell me how I’m so unfair
You want what you can’t give
And that ain’t no way to live
It’s hopeless…

You ask what took so long – you got me stretched out like Armstrong and this is hopeless
“Time is money” so you repeat but did you pay the parking meter? Girl, you’re hopeless!
You got a lot of ideas
You throw them to the wind
Next time you fly a kite maybe you’ll think to bring some string
Always pushing me around
But you got no solid ground
You’re hopeless…
You want what you can’t give
And that ain’t no way to live
It’s hopeless…
Dressing in the dark
You’re a mile off your mark
And hopeless…

Hopeless… hopeless… hopeless…
Hopeless… hopeless… hopeless…
