Tell me why I should not follow you
Tell me why it's stupid
Words we thought when we were young
Are shouted now as somebody's anthem
Crowds of people we don't relate to

Tell me if I should not see a friend in you
Great expectations on the line
What would you have wanted me to do?
Tell me, tell me

My mistakes are dues I've paid for life
Once my word was good here
Failure is proof that I'm not brave
You trusted that I would be on your side
And now I'm someone you don't relate to

Tell me if I should not see a friend in you
Great expectations on the line
What would you have wanted me to do?
Tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me
