The thought lays heavy on my mind
How can you be so unkind?
Looking for a common ground that we're never going to find
How can you be so unkind?
I still have dreams and things I want to do
But I never would tell you
'cause you take what I make
I turn it into a mistake
A handshake, a heartbreak
For old times, for God's sake
Thinking back when we were at school
You were the coolest kid I knew
I know that you think now I took you for a fool
But you were the coolest kid I knew
I was just as scared and awkward and confused
But I doubt you had a clue
'cause oh, you take what I make
And turn it into a mistake
A handshake, a heartbreak
For old times, for God's sake
I have a monster on my shoulder
He speaks with your voice, he wears your face
And every now and then I think I've shook him off
But when I check he's still in place
