lyrics

I do what I can
To help you understand
But you don't have a clue
And There's nothing I can do
It's hard to comprehend
With enemies for friends
If you can't see the truth
I don't know the use

Maybe I'm just scared of facing isolation
Maybe I don't want to hear your explanation
Could be I'm alive and I don't have the patience
Or maybe I'm just tired of empty conversations

It's taken me a while
To learn to fake a smile
But I don't care to be
A puppet on a string
I know how to please
Everyone but me
Somewhere in between
Is everything I need

Maybe I'm just scared of facing isolation
Maybe I don't want to hear your explanation
Could be I'm alive and I don't have the patience
Or maybe I'm just tired of empty conversations
