why should you be lonely? you've got everywhere to run to
I could give you all the answers and you'd never let me go
if you're torn on the inside you know it just goes to show
that you've seen a lot of answers - what's the question anyhow?
I'd be so naive to think you'd listen to the oldest lines
you'd never want to listen to them now
I get you alone and I can never seem to make it last
I give you my heart and you just give it back
poison words you say can make me feel like I'm a liar
and I always seem to find the ways life will make me harder
never give me what I'm after - feed me to the fire
I'm just so d*** tired of preaching peace I feel like I'll expire
why should you be angry? you've got friends and foes who need you
I could measure how I've loved you by the mileage on my soul
if you're tired of the journey 'cause you're so far from home
just remember it's the cost of getting where we need to go
