No Laughing

This conversation just turned again
Why do we always end up talking about me and my lack of friends?
And I finally found a point to pin you down, and then.
You duck, you swerve, you've struck a nerve again.
Don't tell me nothing I can't do without.
You say you're only trying to help me, but I have my doubts.
Don't think you didn't yell at me
Just 'cause you didn't shout
Yeah, you're speaking softly,
But thinking awfully loud.
And I'd love to be right,
And sometimes I almost am
Except the ten million reason
And the ways I don't understand
Had the lack of sense to believe
That I was doing alright
Long day tomorrow,
Won't get no sleep tonight.
Not tonight.
Remember, once it's spoken it don't go away.
The anger hops a freight train
The monsters always stay.
Tomorrow's empty feelings ride the insults of today.
Mouthful to earful,
Be careful of what you say.
And I'd love to be right,
And sometimes I almost am
Except the ten million reason
And the ways I don't understand
Had the lack of sense to believe
That I was doing alright
Long day tomorrow,
Won't get no sleep tonight.
Not tonight.
And I know I'm sorry
But don't laugh at me.
I might even deserve it
But please don't laugh at me.
See I'm on the run from my father's son,
But he won't let me be.
You're leaving me no place to hide
From my reflection in his eyes
He don't like me, and I don't know why.
And I am haunted by my own life.
So please don't laugh at me.
