Acoustic 3
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.
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told you
And the least they ever gave you Riff 3 - 2x
Was the most you ever knew
Refrão 1
And I wonder where these dreams go Riff 2
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming Riff 2
No one's listening anyway
Verso 2
Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father Riff 1 - 2x
'Cause she's got nowhere to g
Refrão 2 )
And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point ever trying
Nothing changing anyway
Verso 3
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But your falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all the screaming
You're not listening anyway
