Thought Was Wrong

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.

Another fear before I fall, another time to weigh it all,
another feeling, though I try...

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.

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

Another fear before I fall, another time to weigh it all,
another feeling, though I try...

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.

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...

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.
