Couldn't Say

Creep in the door wait for someone to notice

Hang on the wall, just to see if it’s focused

I can’t see past what’s really important

Follow me down, I’m taking you there

Finally mentioned the thing you were hoping

I’d help you shortcut your way to the floor

Blacked out and mostly gone to the world

Hang on a second, it’s all that you thought

Stupid to think so, don’t stop to tell me

I should have read better, seen what they saw

On the outside, where earshot goes further

They’re burning me still with their hindsight and all

Burning me still with their hindsight and all

I went home to play the enemy

I never thought I’d see the day

Intervening forces reckon it suits me

And that’s the saddest thing

I never thought I’d like it so much

To see such suffering, but

Provocation, provocation made me, is that wrong?

I couldn’t say

Is that wrong? I couldn’t say

Is that wrong? I couldn’t say

I couldn’t say

Mood reading one way, words there to cover

Contempt etched on every line of your face

Taking comfort knowing no one else matters

Guiltless enough, still you take and you take

It’s been a long time since someone sat you down

Told you words that you heard and took in

Words that weren’t just there to flatter

Inflated self-worth, vein enough as it is, so

Was there something you came here to say?

Time spent looking after yourself

Depleting feelings, leaving things uncompleted

Had me reeling, didn’t know, know what I felt

Had me reeling, didn’t know what I felt

I went home to play the enemy and

I never thought I’d see the day

Intervening forces reckon it suits me

And that’s the saddest thing

I never thought I’d like it so much

To see such suffering, but

Provocation, provocation made me, is that wrong?

I couldn’t say

Is that wrong? I couldn’t say

Is that wrong? I couldn’t say

I couldn’t say

I went home to play the enemy and

I never thought I’d see the day

Intervening forces reckon it suits me

And that’s the saddest thing

I never thought I’d like it so much

To see such suffering, but

Provocation, provocation made me, is that wrong?

I couldn’t say

Is that wrong? I couldn’t say

Is that wrong? I couldn’t say

I couldn’t say
