With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

When the world gets in your way

No one's listening anyway

And you're hiding here alone
And your mother loves your father
Cuz she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
Cuz the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying?
Nothing's changing anyway
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
Cuz the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
You're not listening anyway"
