endings

Why do the pages keep turning?
I wasn't even done reading
And you take the book away
Saying I couldn't comprehend it anyway
Just because I read all the letters
Backwards.

So now I only read books with pictures
Because they have the fewest words
And I never ever look at the last page
Cos I don't want to get hurt

Keep your tragic endings and your bad news
I'm sick and tired and so badly bruised

I wanted to punch you in the mouth
To keep the bad news from coming out
And I know it sounds absurd
But I place the most blame on the words
