A Dish Taken Cold

I guess I'll have to be
A hell of a lot more satisfied
With the way I fit into your heart
I'm not understanding how that is
Though I've certainly tried

A prophet once said
That honest is a lonely word
But it's even colder when you aren’t sure of the truth
I've never wanted so badly
For my prayers to be answered

But Satisfaction was never so hard to reach
I'm willing to learn, if your willing to teach
But I doubt I'll pay much attention in class
I'm so sorry I even have to ask
But could you pinch me to see if this is real?
I'm too sick to feel anything
Much less taste this damn meal

Then it's strange
Because at the same time
So badly to say in one place
Because up until this future moment
Those words are still mine

So either way I'll have to be
At least a bit more satisfied
Things are going to change no matter how I fit into your heart
I'll try once more to understand how
Though I've already tried and tried

But Satisfaction was never so hard to reach
I'm willing to learn, if your willing to teach
But I doubt I'll pay much attention in class
I'm so sorry I even have to ask
But could you pinch me to see if this is real?
I'm too sick to feel anything
Much less taste this damn meal

Yeah I know I'll be sick
Before I'm well
Thinking about the way I fit into your heart
And I'll try to get better
After all, my heart's the one thing I can't really sell

And whoever that prophet was
He was absolutely right
I cannot seem to find any compassion
Whatsoever at all
On this damn freezing cold night

But comfort and warmth have never been sold
Even honesty is a dish taken cold
So don't expect me to pay much attention to this task
I'm so sorry I even have to ask
But could you pinch me to see if this is real?
I'm too cold to feel anything
Much less taste this god damn meal

Then it's strange
But have you ever been surrounded by warmth and friends
And still felt cold and alone inside?
I know it seems I'll be ill until eternity
And I'm scared because forever is one thing that never ends

So either way
I won't be comfortable
With the way I fit into your frozen heart
Even though I know I could melt the ice
I remember, not so long ago
When I thought life was wonderful

But comfort and warmth have never been sold
Even honesty is a dish taken cold
So don't expect me to pay much attention to this task
I'm so sorry I even have to ask
But could you pinch me to see if this is real?
I'm too cold to feel anything
Much less taste this god damn fucking meal!
