Thought Was Wrong

VERSE 1:
What you want to see, what you want to believe,
strays so far from everything I felt.
And I’m holding back on the certain fact that there’s
nothing left to do, or think, or tell.
And the spoken silence, word-filled quiet,
means no less from anybody else.
And the smiles I sell you, lies I tell you,
almost match the ones I tell myself.

PRECHORUS:
Another fear before I fall,
another time to weigh it all,
another feeling, though I try…

CHORUS:
I hate you and the way you stand for everything I thought was wrong with me
and all the things I thought I knew.
And finally, I see the pieces fall,
the pieces fall away,
of all the things I thought I knew.

VERSE 2:
All the things you say and then take away
leave me looking ‘round for less than I could tell.
And I’ll hold my breath ‘til there’s nothing left,
‘til I wish I could say that I wish you well.

PRECHORUS:
Another fear before I fall,
another time to weigh it all,
another feeling, though I try…

CHORUS:
I hate you and the way you stand for everything I thought was wrong with me
and all the things I thought I knew.
And finally, I see the pieces fall,
the pieces fall away,
of all the things I thought I knew.

BRIDGE:
Shut up!  There is nothing left to say.
Shut up!  And just turn and walk away.
Shut up!  There’s no time to save me now.
‘Cause I can remember all the times you left me alone,
oh, and they feel like home.

CHORUS:
I hate you and the way you stand for everything I thought was wrong with me
and all the things I thought I knew.
And finally, I see the pieces fall,
the pieces fall away,
of all the things I thought I knew.
