You were caught holding hands,
longful stares that say everything.
Now I don't think that love is blind -
only the people who look too hard for it will wind up empty handed.
And the seats are all sold out to your soap opera show
and you're burning for one quiet moment alone.
-
Eventually everything comes crashing down
And you're so lost in everyone else's problems that you can barely see your own
With sisters who determine right from wrong
When the snowflakes fall, everything will die out.
-
I know you love her sparkling eyes...
and she wants to touch the stars.
And you're the only one who holds the sky in the palm of your hand
And he screams "I'm in love!"
And 'god' i feel sorry for you...
cause you can never make everyone happy at the same time...
and that's why I need your advice tonight.
-
Oh my how the tables have turned on you,
the unsuspecting one out of this.
It's through cause we're getting too old for these childish games you play.
So give it up - cause i'm here to stay.
