The Sharp Hint of New Tears (MTV Unplugged)

On the way home

This car hears my confessions

I think tonight I'll take the long way

In this weather

The wind outside is biting

It's left me feeling tired and exposed

You've been asking me to bleed

It seems these kinds of questions

Come too easy to you now

Your lack of shame comes naturally

I should not be surprised

I should have seen it sooner

Expect me to apologize

For things that you've done wrong

While you're inciting others

You're owning up to nothing

And I wish that I was gone

'Cause you're not going anywhere

And this damp air

It's fighting my defroster

My sighs, they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass

And it's clouded

And so is my head

The hint of these new tears are sharp

I try to choke them back

But it's useless

I'm useless against them

They are beating me with ease

On the way home

This car hears my confessions

I think tonight I'll take the long way

Expect me to apologize

For things that you've done wrong

While you're inciting others

You're owning up to nothing

And I wish that I was gone

'Cause you're not going anywhere

On the way home

This car hears my confessions

I think tonight I'll take the long way
