Realistic lyrics

He came down
An ordinary man
He sat down
His fingers slowly rub his face
An old and lonely man
He spoke out
To silence sitting in the room
And this is what he said:
We take, oceans come undone
We rule and never will transcend
She breaks, and oh, my only son
She takes a thousand years to mend

Today I won't be cruel
Though yesterday I walked with you
Through the park and to the lake
What a terrible mistake
I'll be brief
Here it comes with some relief
I'm a waste of time for you
So I'll go back inside my room
I wanna be by myself
I wanna be by myself
I'd make a miserable wife
I'm barely fit to live in my life
One day you'll understand
It was all out of my hands

How can you say
After all we've done together
It's gonna take forever
To mend what's come apart
And how can you say
That you never meant to hurt me
You didn't dare alert me
To your poisoned heart
Before too long
Something is wrong
Tell me you're too sick to mention
Show me about your good intention
Give me all of your attention
But I don't believe a word
don't believe a word

You're coming back
I know you well
All dressed in black
Its show and tell
All my life in this town
Oh let me go
I'm gonna drag you down
You've been a fool
All this time
You call me cruel
But I don't mind
I'll be gone when you come around
Oh let me go
I'm gonna drag you down

He calms me down when I'd rather be out of my mind
He calms me down when I'm not ready to unwind
He'll be my clown when I'd rather be black inside
He'll be my clown with that evil look in his eyes
Oh I know
He can be a thorn in my side
But even so
I just can't get enough
Just can't get enough
He slows me down when I'm happy running out of time
He slows me down, he's an enemy of mine

I used to do my utmost to suspend belief
Until the day it hit me like a kick in the teeth
In the sensitivity stakes you're less than a non-starter
You don't need a lover you need a sparring partner
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
For you
When you say your love is as bold as a flag

Have you ever felt lonely?
Have you ever felt lonely?
Have you ever felt kicked inside,
Kicked inside for nothing?
Have you ever felt needed?
Have you ever felt needed?
Have you ever felt peace of mind
In every small endeavor?
I want you back
No guarantee forever
Still I want you back
I can lose and I can find,
I can think there's always something better
Have you ever felt lonely?

Have you ever felt lonely?
Have you ever felt lonely?
Have you ever felt kicked inside,
Kicked inside for nothing?

Have you ever felt needed?
Have you ever felt needed?
Have you ever felt peace of mind
In every small endeavor?

I want you back
No guarantee forever
Still I want you back
I can lose and I can find,
I can think there's always something better

Have you ever felt lonely?

This day, so grey
Betray, and decay
You said I slay
But your mind was so blind
You could never understand
My point of view
Despair, beware
This nightmare can impair
You swore no more
But I knew where this was leading to
You could never understand
My point of view
Could you

She's in love again, oh yeah
Rise above again, oh yeah
His number's fading on her hand
And it's a day to remember
Shallow, shallow
Shallow, shallow
What an easy game to play
What a perfect thing to say
He tells her 'you're the world to me'
ÔWhy don't we dive in together'
Shallow, shallow
Shallow, shallow
Sun dies on a beautiful show
Dream on 'cause there's nowhere to go

Sleeping late.
Wasting the day away.
I don't care what they say.
I'm gonna stay in bed for a while.
Sleeping late.
Everything's down the drain.
Everything stays the same.
I'm gonna wait right here for a while.
I don't care what I've been missing.
You can call but I won't listen to anything you say.
I know it can wait.
I know it can wait.
Sleeping late.
Letting the time go by.
