If you only knew
What you've put me through
Maybe then you'd see
What this life has done to me
I won't get any better
If all you say is whatever
Wish I could see into your eyes
I need to go beneath the lies
Don't let me down again
We could start by being friends
I only want to make things right
Before it's too late tonight
Don't know what else to say
I can't take another day
Living life this way
So tell me what I have to do
To get through to you
