All Too Well

And I can
And I will
Hold me down
Keep me still
Take your reasons
Lies you sell
'Cause I know you
All too well…
The party people gather quickly drinks in hand to hear the thing their friends
will talk about and wish away the meaning and the inspiration to the background
music search the crowd for faces focused on the you of all the headlines
focused always on the by-lines live the life rockstar persona People magazine
will show us all the greatest angles of a face so recognizable perfect grace
accept the nomination «entertainer of the year» you beat out everyone and
everything even sold us with your tears…
And I can
And I will
Hold me down
Keep me still
Take your reasons
Lies you sell
'Cause I know you
All too well…
A lasting year of dedication to the cause of all the patience if I save the
time I’m willing to give up the things I build and keep away from those who
shop the very things I cannot stop the way you live a life self-focused scan
the pages get the most you can and ask me how I’m doing care to know the answer?
soon I’ll be the one you know is winning stand and face the ones you lose…
And I can
And I will
Hold me down
Keep me still
Take your reasons
Lies you sell
'Cause I know you
All too well
'Cause I know you
All too well…
