One troubled night wasn't trouble enough for him Another swallow never seemed to like enough for him* They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how What goes around comes back around twice as fast He's got no hope for a cure He puts himself to sleep But now we just sit back, we sit back While we watch all of them react Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen You've got me here, but you still feel all alone Go ahead and tell your stories She always hoped for him to take her word for word Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure She's got her eyes on the time, but there's no use waiting there for him Well she's not in the world alone, but she wanted to put herself to sleep But now we just sit back, we sit back While we watch all of them react Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen You've got me here, but you still feel all alone Go ahead and tell your stories But now we just sit back, we sit back While we watch all of them react Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen You've got me here, so tell me your stories We sit back while we watch all of them react Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen You've got me here, but you still feel all alone Can't you just tell you're stories
