Sympathy for the World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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?
