It's hard to lose
What's still around
To watch the subtle splitting of the seams
Voluntarily squandering dreams
What're you diming up for?
Another so-called "even score"?
Don't fool yourself, don't fool yourself
You've never felt more alone
Why nurse it back to health
If it wants to fly away
So mend them well,
'Cause time will tell
If they'll thank you someday
Help is only living
When the victim gives it breath
Don't take my words
And twist them
Don't try to give them depth
It's true that I'm not in on it
I get that life's unfair
But if I'm the one who's been here
Why are you always over there?

Don't try to give them depth
It's true that I'm not in on it
