Maybe I've been hurt    Maybe I've been saved for something worse    Can't say    If you asked me now    What's in a crowd?    There's thousands of faces    With thousands of ways to be hurt for free      But this I know I always make the friends that never stay    I always make the friends that never stay      Feelings can't be felt    I couldn't let the ground beneath me melt.    Not me    They spread things about    They twist things around    The mask is a screen till the whispers are so loud they hurt    I tried to stay      That someone could of made up something so cruel    That someone could of poisoned that last mouthful of you    That someone could of played with something untrue    That took such delight in the last breath of you      Couldn't bear to stay    Couldn't tear away    Is that emotional    Or reproachable    But this I know    I always make amends when it's too late    I always make amends when it's too late       Was there something I could of said    Something I did    Someone I could of called    Something I read      They spread things about    They twist things around    The mask is a screen till the whispers are so loud they hurt    I tried to stay       That someone could of made up something so cruel    That someone could of poisoned that last mouthful of you    That someone could of played with something untrue    That took such delight in the last breath of you
