down on the other side of things

the triggers fast and light

bringing home this emptiness

for which you had to fight

it doesn't matter if you're giving

for they do not compromise

the world will keep you guessing

until the day you die



and everyone will say "I told you so"

yeah they'll all just nod and sigh

but I'll make a run at something real

and they'll never even try

and everyone will say "I told you so"

yeah they'll all just nod and sigh

as I go down in a ball of flames

they'll just watch, i wonder why



When the people downtown are freezing

sometimes you cannot hide

so what can you do its often true

then we shift away our eyes

but maybe that moments ours to live

and maybe that's what we were for

as fate will share a chance with you

to open up your door



and everyone will say "I told you so"

yeah they'll all just nod and sigh

but I'll make a run at something real

and they'll never even try

and everyone will say "I told you so"

yeah they'll all just nod and sigh

as I go down in a ball of flames

they'll just watch, i wonder why



I don't understand

why you're just standing there

I don't understand

why you don't seem to care
