Heavy are the heads that bear, the endless pride that they must wear
Id hate to live a day like them
I wear my secrets on my sleeve, with hopes that people just like me
Will maybe one day understand
Precious were those lazy days, when we could find so many ways
To make it all just go away
But suddenly weve been mislead, no sugarplums left in my head
Theyve gone to dance another day

And Ive seen better days, when words dont have much to say, but what will you take away from this?

I dont have the time to spend on you
I dont have the mind to lend to you
If every day gets less mysterious, than how can we be so oblivious to who we are?

I wish you had me figured out
I wish we had this figured out
Because Im too lost to go without knowing what its for
Tell me what its for

Petty are your complaints now, since the day that I found out
What its like to really feel
And worthless were those pointless fights, that led to all those sleepless nights
And now it seems so surreal
So try to read me if you can
But understand that this great end has more than justified the means
I was only seventeen, just a kid, way too nave to wrap my head around a dream

And Ive seen better days, when words dont have much to say, and what will you take away from this?

I dont have the time to spend on you
I dont have the mind to lend to you
If every day gets less mysterious, than how can we be so oblivious to who we are?

I wish you had me figured out
I wish we had this figured out
Because Im too lost to go without knowing what its for
Tell me what its for
