lyrics

Looks like you’re starting to cry
Can’t help but wonder what’s the reason why
Was it something I said
Or can you hear my selfish voice inside your head?

I wear my years like a crown
Even when my kingdom is broken down
And when I’m the only thing I see
I measure you in what you do for me

But I never set out to cause you no pain
I never learned it was a virtue to show restraint
I see you searching for what’s true to me
I know I don’t make it easy to get through to me

I gotta have the upper hand
Even in your time of need, I still don’t understand
I’m so well versed in all the rules of the game
I’m sure to let you know again and again

I can always beat you in any game of words
But you know the truth is what you feel, not what you heard
And look what winning has done for me
What I’m willing to sacrifice for a petty victory.

But if we can’t make it, there ain’t nobody that strong
How do people carry on when two rights make a wrong?
It’s true I don’t use you and I don’t beat you with these fists
But that don’t make me a hero, don’t make me worthy of your gifts

Let’s forget everything we know about being in love
Hard as the notion might seem
Mighty is the soul who can rise above
All this life is but a dream

I only want to give you what you gave
Why’s it so hard for us to do what we both crave?
Each night we feel our way through the dark
Our bodies curled into a question mark

But you mothers and fathers you can’t lead the way
Your broken vows of empty words don’t leave us nothing to say
There must be those among us who can show us how it’s done
The binding of two hearts into one

Let’s forget everything we know but being alive
Hard as the notion might seem
Mighty is the soul who can lift right up and fly
All this life is but a dream
