Real Bad News

[Verse 1]
You don't know, so don't say you do--
You don't
You might think that things will change
But take my word--
They won't
You paint a lovely picture
But reality intrudes
With a message for you
And it's real bad news

[Verse 2]
I was undecided like you
At first
But I could not stem the tide of overwhelm
And thirst
You try to keep it going, but a lot of avenues
Just aren't open to you
When you're real bad news

[Bridge]
I've got love and anger
They come as a pair
You can take your chances
But buyer beware
And I won't
Make you feel bad
When I show you
This big ball of sad isn't
Worth even filling with air

[Verse 3]
And baby, let me tell you
You can get some things confused
Like whose secrets are whose
And that's real bad news
Real bad news
Real bad news
