Those numbers you know so well
Fall over yourself to sell
Turns out
you're
the only one
No wonder you never tell
But you go out with a song
And it only brings it home

However we doubt ourselves
It's all over when the light comes back
Sometimes I hardly know at all
The cover you always call
When you drag me through the walls
And I don't know where to crawl

Everything you love comes back to haunt you
Ever since the safety went from under you

It always comes out like that
No other is at your side
I'm searching your hands for a catch
And I'm staring out into the night
But it's only like you do
To treat me like a fool

Everything you love comes back to haunt you
Ever since the safety went from under you
Every turn you take it all comes back to you
Everyone will say they've got your back for you

It started like a forest fire
Held us in the grip of desire
Burned out too soon

Never crossed my mind that I could loose you
I turned my back

You disappeared from sight

Don't wanna be your latest mistake
Don't wanna be the next heart to break
Don't
wanna wake
up wishing it all away

God knows what a fool I've been
Trusted my heart with a dream
Fell back so hard

Should've seen it right from the start
I was standing tall
And now I'm on my knees

I have tried -
I still try

To make it seem like rainbows and silver linings
I still read -
I still write
Into magazines
Does anyone listen - anyone

Cause it's like
Nobody can hear the crying through the walls
Cause nobody answers
And I'm like
Am I the only person breathing in the air
Does nobody else care

I have tried -
I have made
Multicoloured pictures of our lives
We've seen some times - like the day

Those waterfalls were falling before our eyes
Does anyone see - anyone

I am sane
I am just like you
Underneath what you see
We're alike

We are similar
And we're older than our years

Given hope
Minutes too late
To hold onto
So sorry to waste
Slowly we fade

In our lives

We are underneath
Only inches away
On the surface
We seem regular
If you only spend the time

We're alike

We are similar
And we're older
Than our years
