I can hear you lay down on the bed
As you play hotel room blues again
You stretch your body out
And tell me
You are so happy that I called
In that soft gentle voice
You ask me not to worry so much
That you’re okay
We’re okay
And I feel like the whole world just
Stopped
I can’t breathe
Tears are welling up in my throat
I don’t know how tears get in my throat
But there they are
As I try to reply
“Thank you”

Exactly ... yes the villian can be the star ... that is why it is how well you play it. Beautiful. They do have a funny way do they not these things we call tears of displaying every emotion possible?

It sounds like he is just reciting platitudes and you are concerned with important truths. Is that why the tears are welling up? Pherhaps I'm missing something.
