I have a story I can't tell
Cause it would drag me down to hell
Just open the road and guide me home
You have an ear that only hears you
It's deaf from the lies that built you askew
And there's no way to fix this alone
There's no guilt in my words
They've stirred unheard for too long
Now throw away all your fears of being wrong
You wonder why there's friction
But you don't wanna be told why
I'm trying to help us
But you're too high
You told me that you'd change now
But everything's still the same
You lied to my face
And you blame me
And you blame me
Generations don't know more
Things are changing so don't ignore
What the new way to success is
The scars I earned from this still burn
Thought if you saw them you would learn
To choose your battles and clean your messes
There's no guilt in my words
They've stirred unheard for too long
It's not too late to admit that you were wrong
You wonder why there's friction
But you don't wanna be told why
I'm trying to help us
But you're too high
You told me that you'd change now
But everything's still the same
You lied to my face
And you blame me
And you blame me
No matter what you wanna say
It's not the way to set things straight
I'm never gonna be the one
To pass all this destruction on
Our colors will fade soon
They'll fade into the dark
Our colors will fade soon
They'll fade...
You wonder why there's friction
But you don't wanna be told why
I'm trying to help us
But you're too high
You told me that you'd change now
But everything's still the same
You lied to my face
And you blame me
(And you blame)
You wonder why there's friction, oh
You wonder why there's friction, oh
You wonder why
You wonder why
You wonder why there's friction
And that's why...
