He couldn"t start the day without a reason to get up
No reason found a little something extra in his cup
But one day that little something extra...
wasn"t really something extra anymore
She always said no-one gets hurt if no one knows
Nobody was the wiser "till they saw that summer snow
Now the spark is gone, the fire is out, the lights are on,
but she"s not home much anymore
But, oh... when it comes to feeling sorry for yourself,
they did it better than most everyone else
We scream in silence... why do we scream in silence?
We pray for rain... why do we pray for rain?
We run for cover... why do we run for cover?
When we feel the pain... why do we feel the pain?
Why don"t we stop pretending... why don"t we stop pretending?
We"re all the same... we are all the same
If we keep on sayin" 'what else can we do?',
Then the question of the weak is...
Who"s foolin" who?
He couldn"t stop the rain that fell each night
from blood-shot eyes
She couldn"t stand the thought of being
smothered by her lies
So, Monday came and Monday went,
they finally said good-bye
They"re not here anymore
Somebody else is minding the store
Oh... when it comes to feeling sorry for yourself,
they did it better than most everybody else
Now the darkness turns to light,
Now the rain is gone
Repeat chorus
Why do I scream in silence?
Why do I pray for rain?
Why do I run for cover?
How can I stop this pain?
Repeat chorus
