|
Children in the playground, laughing and dancing in the street |
|
All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony |
|
Me, I'm not laughing - |
|
I see things only as they were |
|
When I first needed you - yeah, when |
|
I first needed you |
|
Cars passing by - representing my life |
|
I ain't old but |
|
I ain't young enough to cry like a baby |
|
And I'm so scared but |
|
I won't tell you for fear you'll hate me more |
|
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - yeah, tough all over |
|
Clouds go rollin' by as |
|
I lay floatin' in a stream of semi-consciousness |
|
I'll follow it 'til the end or at least 'til |
|
I drown in my separate reality |
|
Sorry there's only room for me |
|
I used to have an angel - she took care of everything |
|
Yeah, so sometimes we cried - maybe more than most, but so what |
|
We shared everything - even some things we should not have shared |
|
Like my separate reality - now there's only room for me |
|
I walk among the criminals and |
|
I pray among the saints |
|
And somewhere in between |
|
I try to scrape off this war paint |
|
It's cold in here in the corner of my soul - so dark and lonely |
|
Oh but I ain't never gonna let go |
|
Children in the playground - laughing and dancing in the street |
|
All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony |
|
Me, I'm not laughing or dancing - |
|
I see things only as they were |
|
When I first needed you - yeah, when |
|
I first needed you |
|
I used to have everything - now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright ' |
|
Cause I've got a new friend and her name is tattooed across my chest |
|
And she won't let me down - 'cause |
|
I ain't never, never gonna let her in |
|
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - and it's surely tough |
|
In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me |
|
In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me, for me |
|
Sorry there's only room for me |
