Almost Over

You think I'm unkind, but people aren't the way you think they are.
They can't remember all the time what it was you wanted.
They paint you out in straight silhouette-well, don't you get the picture yet?
Why are you getting all upset? The worst part's almost over.

Three's such a crowd. You oughta tell me what you tell yourself.
You ever gonna speak aloud? Do I have to guess like everyone else?
With an iron will to walk the walk and a glass jaw that can't be moved to talk.
Black eyes always watch the clock. The worst part's almost over.

You let yourself be frozen by a doubt. You think I'm mean 'cause I call you out.
You don't know what you're about. The worst part's almost over now.
The worst part's almost over now, now, now.
