Sorry For July

we can’t erase it
so just embrace it
it’s sad but it’s so true
the simple fact is
our mathematics
never added up

i wish i knew all of the answers
i’d print out a cheat sheet
and publish it
but i don’t – so i won’t
i’ll go on pretending to know it all

mistaken placement
try to replace it
it’s slipping through the cracks
i hear you talking
you see me walking
out on your heart

i wish i could arrange a recall
on all the faulty parts
of my pride
but i can’t – so i can
just go on avoiding them

so sorry for july
