I open the news   It's time that we choose   Play a simpler view   This place is pale and it's blue      I tear my eyes loose   From this sleep breaking news   Guess I'm paying my dues   It's just a valid excuse      How our ideas of hell   Just thinking we weren't jealous   Now we're nothing but zealous   To what our bodies now tell us      It's too close I guess   Though we survived this test   It's not on my chest   Never got put to rest      I'm not the one who does the things I know   I preach a lot before I have a go   I know I hurt you as my friend and foe   But I still love you more than you could know      Stuck in my head    My ego is fed   Feels like I'm ahead   Inside I'm just dead      Betrayal at best   I've created this mess   It's about time I confess   But people know more or less      Cause time after time   I leave whatever I find   Stop to apologize   But that's the way of my kind      You're getting so near   That's just what I had feared   It's getting so clear   I'm fully endeared      I'm not the one who does the things I know   I preach a lot before I have a go   I know I hurt you as my friend and foe   But I still love you more than you could know      Guess I'm not    Where I   Want to believe   I am      Guess I'm not    Where I   Want to believe   I am      Guess I'm not    Where I   Want to believe   I am      Guess I'm not    Where I   Want to believe      Raised up in the sky   We breathe it all away   It's up to us as we hide   Well, we were here to stay      I know it seemed right   To choose and take a part   In a world we can buy   Watch us blow ourselves apart      I know it's too late   To choose another wrong   I won't go anywhere   I'll be here when you're gone
