When you thought you learned your lesson,
I was standing right beside
When you thought you found the answers,
There was still so much to find
When the stars all leave the sky,
You know they’re leaving us to die, oh
Don’t you ever, oh you never
Don’t you ever want to ask them why?
When I tried to find the reason that my reason could not find
I was praying for a glimpse at all the secrets of your mind
With the day becoming night, our sun will leave us all behind
Afraid it’s never coming back, I’m here to gather what is mine
I know you’d just love to take me with you when you go
And don’t you just love to think no one would ever know?
And won’t you just let me be all that I want to be?
And won’t you just set me free from this insanity?
When you thought that I was listening to what you said before
I was making up new meanings, your words became so much more
Now I sure as hell am slipping, feet refuse to hold me up
And from the look you’re wearing now, I can see you’ve had enough
I know you’d just love to take me with you when you go
And don’t you just love to think no one would ever know?
And won’t you just let me be all that I want to be?
And won’t you just set me free from this insanity?
Now I spend my days taking life lessons from people I will never meet
Much like asking for directions walking down a foreign street
My own trust I have betrayed, I only wish I had never stayed
I can hear a difference in your voice, and I can tell you are so afraid
You know I’d just love to take you with me when I go
And how I’d love just to think no one would ever know
But why can’t I let you be all that you want to be?
And why can’t I set us free from my insanity?
