I see you sit and swallow pain For all of those who will not speak You raise your voice, you fill the stage Your eyes are wide, you know the weakness That you've felt is not just yours So many more, you're not alone The songs you sing are not your own You fill the room with something real
You've never had it so you hesitate to try and find it You listen carefully for whispers of what lurks behind it You play the corners, never get too close to where it might be waiting for you Never had it, keep on wanting something more
Keep hiding the hope and than the pain is not yours Noone's holding a rope, you gotta pull up on your own All the songs have been sung and all the doors have been closed Keep on wanting more, keep on wanting
I watch you wander through these halls You slouch, you shrug, you shrink away I call you stop, you blink, you pause You wander who, you think the day Will never end but when it does You wither till the building's dark The doors are locked, you're on the bus You looked inside but did not touch
You've never had it but you know how to provide it so you Stand up and call for it, nervous describing what you go through You don't wanna get caught up in all the things they say to try to provoke you Don't need anyone to tell you keep on wanting something more
Keep hiding the hope and than the pain is not yours Noone's holding a rope, you gotta pull up on your own All the songs have been sung and all the doors have been closed Keep on wanting more, keep on wanting
