Maybe I understood it all wrong
It's just a misconception of love
Can you tell me, what the hell is going on?
'Cause my heart is playing tricks on me again
Oh at times, I wish it all could get quiet
And stay that way forever more
I'm not well and I'm just very tired
Of explaining all of it to everyone
Maybe it's just the way that the world goes round
Some people get what they really want
And others though, they leave with arms wide open
And high hopes in between fear and loss
Oh at times, I wish somebody could love me right
Am I mirroring what's going on below?
I just need someone who's there and holds me tight
And loves me for who I am and nothing more
Lately, I'm sadder than I was before
It all went down while it all went up in flames
Ignoring all the smoke, as if we're trained to do
As if it's not at all concerning to see
Oh at times, I wish it all could get quiet
And stay that way, just a little while
I'm not well and I'm just too tired
And I don't think you need to ask me why
Oh at times, I wish it all would be quiet
Can it stay that way forever more?
I'm not well and I'm way too tired
But I'm trying to do my best to make it work
