Sympathy for the world
Of all the times i've tried to talk to you
and acted out of line
please understand
when I tell you more than anything
why must we hold a candle to all our shames?
I forgave my enemies
but I never forgot their names
of all the times i've tried to talk to you
this time I think i'm fine
we'll make it through
'cuz i'll never want you to cry
and there's no fire without lots of smoke
everyone laughed, I didn't get the joke
but i'm secure with my insecurity
and i'm so sure with my uncertainty
I know we're bored with our apologies
this time we're making everything we need
this time, I don't want to know what i'm thinking
i just want to know what you think
and do you think that I should think this way?
