I'm singing this song But it's about you Whoever else is listening It's only about you
See there's just one story And everyone's the star And it goes like this...
No one will ever love you For everything you are
And so you build up layers of deception And you leave out things to alter the perceptions Of the ones you love Who would never love you back If they knew all about you Every solitary fact
And the sadness of your life Is built upon this lie Of really knowing anyone Or having them know you
It's the sadness of the world There's nothing left to do
And so just go to sleep Just let the hours pass Sleep it all away None of it will last
Soon it's all over You're under clover And none of it matters anymore
