what if i turned this all around
another late talk on the town
othing can change if i can't think straight
we'll surface and find no one around
o one to see the day through
everyone's picked the path of weakness
(prechorus)
and we won't work just becos
it's worked like this before
time to pour over things in the big life
and if i could get away
from the stairwells
the fakes
i'd abandon you as soon as i could
but here we are
(chorus)
we're coming up on midnight
and the rumors start to build
o one's laughing all alone now
o one does it by themselves
and i watch her as she takes the drink
but i know that she doesn't drink
and everybody acts the same
the days expressions they all feel just the same
and if i say that something's missing
would you do your best to understand me
do your best to find out why
there's something alone we just can't handle
pride's good only for a moment
then you live the rest of your life
(prechorus)
(chorus)
tell all your friends
you're through with them
and i won't expect a thing from you at all
