I've known you my whole life As far back as I can recall Though I don't really know a whole lot Of who you are at all I wish I could know how To crack the surface to your heart But the distance between it and I Is just to far apart And I'm not gonna waste my time I can't do that anymore I'm not gonna wear myself out Knocking down your door You say things that don't add up To the choices you make I wish things would change Cause I'd like to know you one day You've made lots of promises The kind you can't afford to keep And I don't really understand Nothing quite makes sense to me I've got too many questions The answers I'm afraid I know So I guess you'll be a mystery to me Until you let yourself go Cause I'm not gonna waste my time I can't do that anymore I'm not gonna wear myself out Knocking down your door You say things, and they don't add up To the choices you make I wish things would change Cause I'd like to know you one day I don't expect things to change I've come to terms with that I'm gonna do the best I can To cope with the facts
