Anything's hard to change
but hey I Got you down on your knees again
You watch the sky
It's a pale parade of passing clouds that cover
the bed upon which we laid on in the dark
The memories that I made of a laughing girl
but you're just my toy
and I just can't stop playing with you baby

So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's just one thing you need to know
and that's that you can't count on me

Coming along feels good
But I still can't do most of the things I should
I watch the blue sky coming down to bury me in
I can't stop this crawling out of my skin
I know that you see yourself flying in out of the sky
Coming down to carry me
But I won't come out

So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's just one thing you need to know
And that's that you can't count on me
No you can't count on me

I watch all of the same parades as they pass by
days that you wish you'd stay
but all this pain gets me high
and I get off and you know why

So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's just one thing you need to know
And that's that you can't count on me

So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's just one thing you need to know
And that's that you can't count on me

Oh... you can't count on me
No you can't count on me

I was all of the same praise as they pass on

should be "I watch all of the same parades as they pass by"

I think the fourth line should be:
"It's a pale parade of passing clouds that cover"
And...I'm pretty sure the second line of the chorus is:
"If you wanted to be free" instead of brave.

I changed "It's a pale parader passing by flowers with color" to "It's a pale parade of passing clouds that cover"

Thanks Todd

Oh...I also think the 7th line should be: "but you're just my toy" instead of but she loves my guitar.
