Sympathy For The World

Of all the times
I’ve tried to talk to you
And acted out of line
Please understand
When I tell you more than anything
And there’s no fire without lots of smoke
Everyone laughed, I didn’t get the joke
Why must we hold
A candle to
All our shames?
I forgave my enemies
But I never forgot their names
And there’s no fire without lots of smoke
Everyone laughed, I didn’t get the joke
But I’m secure with my insecurity
And I’m so sure with my uncertainty
This time, I don’t want to know what I’m thinking
I just want to know what you think
And do you think that I should think this way?
Of all the times
I’ve tried to talk to you
This time I think I’m fine
We’ll make it through
'Cause I never want you to cry
And there’s no fire without lots of smoke
Everyone laughed, I didn’t get the joke
I know we’re bored with our apologies
This time we’re making everything we need
