It happens in the smallest ways
It happens all the time
But if you've never had your sight
What's it mean to be blind
 
Now maybe they all just pretend to be
Or maybe we're not trying
Can't we just be happy for awhile
It happens all the time 

All these little suicides
They hardly make a mark
I can take these fun-house rides
I'm a natural in the dark
I'm a natural in the dark
In the dark
 

If I could give you that
I'd give it all the time
You're just a little tired today
Tomorrow you'll be fine

If love heals anything at all
We should be flying
If I could give you that
I'd love you all the time

You're everything I've ever wanted
You're everything to me
Is there no stopping when it's started
These old hearts just come apart
It happens in the smallest ways

It happens all the time
If I'm not who I used to be
Well, it's not to be unkind
 
And if you feel these aren't your better days
Oh, I don't mind
Can't we just be happy for awhile
It happens all the time

   “Little Suicides” -- The Golden Palominos

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
And night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more
And I can feel one of my turns coming on
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum

Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
One of my bad days
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?

Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

So you wanna tell, or do you wanna lay there, and oh could you just say it to me, say it to me, could you just tell me anything
Are you gonna stay there, oh baby say it to me, did you ever think that we could be at a place where
You ask me, “do you still love me?”
I ask you, “does the sea ever dry?”
We go on answering questions with questions and lies

So just say that you hate me and that i'm all you never want
Are we backless? useless ? -- we want the things we never give –
we'll stick to the s-c-r-i-p-t in this holy dark song where
You ask me, “do you still love me?”
I ask you, “does the sea ever dry?”
We go on answering questions with questions and lies

So you ask me ‘are you happy?’, i think, ‘oh i've tried'
You ask me, ‘are you happy?’, i say ‘are there stars in the sky?'
Do you really want to believe this lie?
Do you really want to believe this lie?
…I really want to believe this lie.

Believe this lie...

where You ask me “do you still love me?”
I ask you “does the sea ever dry?”
We go on answering questions with questions and lies
Do you really want to believe this lie?
Do you really want to believe this lie?
I really want to believe this lie...
Believe this lie
Believe this lie.
