Lyrics
I just don’t get it
I could have the weight of the world on my shoulders
And you just couldn’t be colder
It would make no difference if I told her
Get your way or you throw a fit
I’m staring at a blank wall of nothingness
This all might all eventually work, but it’s just a mess
But now I can’t seem to forget you, I confess
It’s a series of ups and downs
It’s such a strain on me when there is no trust
It feels like the pain of a knife that you thrust
I’m so deceived when everything seems so robust
Believe me; I know how you make your rounds
You shuffle them on the spin of a roulette wheel
You could care less of how the others feel
You hide this under your looks and lies, you think you conceal
Now please, please tell me once more
Why in the hell would I want to be your friend?
You think I’ll always be there and eventually bend
I guess this is a message that I didn’t send
But what is all this for?
I sure as hell thought it would be easier than this
I can’t figure out why these things I still miss
Sometimes I feel like I’ve sunk down to the Abyss
God knows I’ll always wonder why
I know that everything happens for a reason
But my patience has grown tired and it’s a long season
And I know it’s easier said than done
Maybe I’m just a nice guy
I know that everything may or may not be true
But there are some things that I’m just tired of going through
I still can’t believe I still wonder what you are up to
