I'm gettin' frustrated with the way you deal with things
You always withdraw from me, refuse to communicate
I don't know how much more, more that I can take
I've given all I can, tried to give you everything
I've tried a thousand times
To get you to be real with me
You promise that you`ll change
That your priorities will rearrange
But I`m tired of the games
The silly way you play
I share my heart with you
In return all that you do is¡­

You just run away, just run away
Nothing to offer, no words to say
You just run away, just run away
You don't deal with the problems at hand
You just run away, just run away
You don't connect
With me you don`t stay
You just run away, you run away
You cop out and you run away

You took some time off, took some time "to think"
But baby, behind my back I think you're playing games
I waited by the phone for you to call today
But it didn't ring, I guess you don`t think of me when you're away
You say you love me but your words and actions don't justify
You just playin' with my heart, do the least to get by
I can't take anymore of you runnin' out the door
Babe, I gave all that I have, but you don`t care 'cause you just run away

I ain't takin' this no more
Gonna get out on my own
Out on my own gonna settle the score
I've played this game a thousand times
But baby this time it's me who is breakin' the ties
I've taken all I can, but no, no more

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
