Only treat me right
When you're doing wrong
And it kills me more than it'll hurt
When you hear this song
When you hear this song

I've been here for so long
Nobody knows
All of the tears I've cried can't be shown
Suffer through thoughts
Of being alone
Don't know where to start or how to atone

Drifting further with every empty word
Why can't you say
What you mean
It's getting harder to make the fire burn
Why can't you say
What you mean

I cannot pretend
I've always played by the rules
If it's eye for an eye
Then it's all over for you
Your lies kept you tied down
Now there's nothing left
Drifting further with every empty word
Why can't you say
What you mean
It's getting harder to make the fire burn
Why can't you say
What you mean

I'm getting tired
Of you hiding
In the smoke and mirror pretend
Find the meaning
Mind reading
Ten steps and we're back to back again
So vague with the words you say
What does it mean

Drifting further with every empty word
Why can't you say

Drifting further with every empty word
What you mean
It's getting harder to make the fire burn
Why can't you say
What you mean

Why can't you say
What you mean
Why can't you say
What you mean
