I read it all Studied it for so long But I still haven't learned how to lose This kind of war I don't get it at all How we could end up like this Now it's a cry for help No-one will understand Shouted right to your face It'll make a sing-a-long A hit for the radio Too nice to be sad Some things don't change We agreed on that Even if we try so hard To leave this place Not in ten years We'll be heading back towards the start Now it's a cry for help No-one will understand Shouted right to your face It'll make a sing-a-long A hit for the radio Too nice to be sad How could I doubt you'd understand Shouldn't have sung it on my own And now you know so make it go away How could I've thought you'd understand I should have sung it on my own I should have kept it to myself Is it really all I'll ever get? The smile on your face Weakens defense Too nice to be sad
