I'm singing this song / but it's about you //
Whoever else is listening / it's only about you //
See there's just one story / and everyone's the star /
and it goes like this //
No one will ever love you / for everything you are //
And so you build up layers of deception /
and you leave out things to alter the perceptions /
of the ones you love / who would never love you back /
if they knew all about you / every solitary fact //
And the sadness of your life / is built upon this lie /
of really knowing anyone / or having them know you //
It's the sadness of the world //
There's nothing left to do //
And so just go to sleep /
Just let the hours pass /
Sleep it all away /
None of it will last //
Soon it's all over //
You're under clover /
and none of it matters anymore //
