lyrics

I don't mind, I can play the role.
But oh, sometimes, it starts to take its toll I'm afraid.

Yeah, you can touch me but I'm out of reach. I make it look so easy. Oh, you would never believe. One night you caught me, scared me half to death. In a crowded room you leaned in close to me and said:

"Hey, are you there? Can you tell me where you are? Hey, are you there? As time went by, you learned to lie."

Some could give me more, but you gave me all you had. I made for the door but you held tight to my hand. And I still think about it sometimes.

It's like a dream where you're stuck to the ground. I'm up in the clouds and I don't think I'm coming down. You look confused as if we've never met. I'm screaming in my sleep I'm just so inarticulate.

"Hey, are you there? Can you tell me where you are? Hey, are you there? As time went by, you learned to lie."

Some could give me more, but you gave me all you had. I made for the door but you held tight to my hand.

I know I left you on the shelf. They say that isolation is so bad for your health, like loving someone who cannot love themself, like loving someone who cannot love themself, like loving someone who cannot love themself.
