Quietly thinking to myself   Sharing half our mind instead of none   The shaking's just begun, the pleasantries are gone   This sad exchange pleased neither one of us      So we finally gave up   The meanings tend to give out   The time was gone to act out   This living torture, living torture      No talking when I want you to listen   No talking 'cos it's living torture, living torture      Don't know why, don't know why, we can't stand aside   There are too many faces we don't see right   If I had known back then whatever I know now   I'd think I'd have answers but I don't know why      So we finally gave up   The meanings tend to give out   The time was gone to act out   But here I am and I'm still living      No talking when I want you to listen   No talking 'cos it's living torture, living torture   No talking when I want you to listen   Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you      Both of us know what it sounds like in my mind   Now both of us know what it sounds, it sounds like   Both of us know what it sounds like in my mind   Now both of us know, now both of us know      No talking when I want you to listen   No talking 'cos it's living torture, living torture   No talking when I want you to listen   Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you, to you, to you      Quietly thinking to myself   This sad exchange pleased neither one of us
