It's been so long since I've been by myself   And I need this more than you will ever know   People like you and me never felt the breeze   People like you and me will never know the easy way      I scream into the wind and laugh   As the words slap me in the face   I would gladly trade a lifetime of convenience   For and honest day or two      It's just not the same when you're staring   Into a perfect golden sunset   And thinking about how you sold your soul   To send the rain away      It's been so long since I've stood on my two feet   I'd really rather lay here and pretend   But people like you and me never get that peace   It comes from denying that everything is so screwed up   It's so screwed up      I stand on a building and throw up my arms to the sky   I swallow my pride and admit   That it's not always best to understand the reason why      It's just not the same when you wake up in the morning   With a smile on your face   When you know you lied yourself to sleep to make it better   To make it better
