If you turn the pages of the past   you'll often find a story without an ending   no 'Amen' to say it's over   all you have is a name you would rather forget   but it isn't over yet   not when you've built your castle out of barricades   to guard against the fools you beat so long ago   long before you even knew they were fools   but even longer since you saw a god in anyone   and for such an independent soul   you sure wanted to believe in someone else   can you blame them that you hate them   smirking girl, you ask too much   who said anyone would show you the way   who said anyone would care what you'll do someday   You're all alone here   you can't buy what isn't there   You're all alone here   you can't change what isn't fair   how obstinate you are   you can't forgive the   mall they did was make you cry   on every day that passed you by   how wise they were to know you didn't like them   how foolish they should have to ask you why
