There’s a sadness that works its way into everything
when you forget that this is everything and what it means
to change your life the way you want to
move the ones you say you see through
I’m so tired of you always saying you’re fine, why can’t you just tell me how you feel
just for once I want to see you cry, and just for once I’ll know it’s real
Cover it up, cover it up what’s your name again?
shorter skirts and long sleeve shirts, that’s when
everyone knows, everyone knows
so listen up, it’s not enough to be your friend
cut everyone out, cut everyone out,
that’s how it will end, with you all alone
you’ve made like my lungs and again you have failed me
and it won’t be long until we both stop breathing
and then you remind me what you keep forgetting
I don’t have this to give, I can’t be your everything
Don’t do this to yourself and everyone around you
it matters how you make people feel, even if they’re only a few
Cover it up, cover it up what’s your name again?
shorter skirts and long sleeve shirts, that’s when
everyone knows, everyone knows
so listen up, it’s not enough to be your friend
cut everyone out, cut everyone out, that’s how it will end
with you all alone
Please give me something to go on
a word, an expression, anything come on
this isn’t the way you have let on
don’t do this, not now you’re so young
I said I’m fine, but I know you can tell that I’m lying
I’m learning to trust you, I’m trying, just give it time
It’s so hard in this one night stand culture
looking for love but hanging with the vultures
I’ve got your number burning a hole in my pocket
and I know better, but then again I think I’ve lost it
