I watch as you go through your life

And I know who you are

Running from things you hide

But never getting far

From the truth that you reveal

While lying to get by

Funny, how you make me feel

I don't care enough to cry

I hear what you've been saying

But know everything that you said

The coldness there inside you

When you found out he was dead

But still you saw a spotlight

A chance to get up on stage

A moment of attention

Before people turned the page

It must feel really lonely

When there's no one left to burn

Even those who love you most

Eventually learn

That letting you into their lives

Exacts a painful toll

Finding only emptiness

While searching for your soul

So, now I know the time has come

To bid you my farewell

To live the life you've chosen

A prisoner with no cell

You see, no one can hurt you

Without getting to your heart

And you never meant enough to me

To get there from the start

It’s as bad as you make it

 It’s as good as it gets 

You live like you’re dying 

And leave no regrets 

It is what it isn’t 

You are what you ain’t 

You’re never all sinner 

Nobody’s a saint 

The way it it all started 

The way it all ends 

Nothing much matters 

Except a few friends 

Now, I see you’re dressed up 

In your bows and your sashes 

 Laughter to memories 

Tears turn to ashes
