Propeller (1994)

Yesterday has taken
My emotions for a ride
Left the door wide open
Hoping you'd come back inside
But it's no longer in the cards
Never thought it would be this hard
When I learn to accept it in my mind
Packed up my belongings
Forced myself to start again
Been afraid to face you
So I don't go where we've been
All my friends say let it be
They ask what's come over me
I've got to learn to accept it in my mind
Something tells me come what may
I'm much better off this way
If I learn to accept it in my mind
I know it's your call and it's heartfelt but shopworn
Torn from the same cloth but baby it's no good
Tried to keep my distance
I'm much closer than I should get
Late each night I feel I
Might do something I'll regret
I still go through deep denial
They say these things take awhile
So I'll learn to accept it in my mind
Things won't always be this bad
And they won't be as good as I've had
But I'll learn to accept it in my mind
Learn to accept it in my mind
In my mind, in my mind
I don't know if I can make it alone
Learn to accept it
I don't know if I can
Learn to accept it
