can you see [bad word] in?
hate to think how long it's been
wasting time at finding faults
voice a question, take a shot

i don't want you to think i do these things i do because of you

tightly kept from misread words
wash away those things you heard

let's pretend that everything is just fine
let's pretend that everything is alright
let's pretend that everything is just fine - better, better
let's pretend that everything is alright - better, better

carried hopes were not enough
draw a line at things we've got
hate to say that you were right
many ways i've failed in sight

i don't want you to think i do these things i do because of you

walked in circles, held in breath
stumbled back into this mess

are you listening?
are you watching out for who they are now?
