Vaporub Lyrics by Bob Mould

Vaporub Lyrics

    Kept my heart locked away / kept it far away from me
    Found a place by the river where nobody goes
    Buried far beneath the levee

    Places where i used to go / when it rained, my heart went deeper
    Deep blue underneath the sea / washed away for no one to see

    I don't have the feelings i'm supposed to know
    I don't get the feeling that you understand
    Only get the feeling that you're feeling sorry for me
    That's never been the point of what i've said

    Never really knew what love was / mixed it up with other thoughts
    Growing up alone doesn't help one sort it out
    Even when you're here, you're not

    Never learned to trust another person
    Never knew a person who could understand my words
    Why i chose to share them, i will never know, but knowing
    No one took the time to understand

    Do i want forgiveness, or the thrill of maybe knowing
    I could change direction, never caring where i'm going
    Sometimes all the time it takes to make your destination
    Isn't charted out as clearly as it seems

    Now the smell of vaporub comes over me
    All the shame of weakness builds again
    Rules and expectations i can't follow any more
    I became the person that i am

    Wouldn't want to make you think you haven't found a way to me
    It's only that it's not as simple as it seems to be
