I tried for understanding this

But I never faced it

Instead, fight what I've seen

I tried to have an open mind

That kept becoming clouded by reality

In spite of what I might be told

I can tell when something's wrong

I keep on praying what over and over

Can only last so long



We never lost the closeness

It became a matter of

A life of verity

Perhaps what we had shared most

Was a sense of emptiness

That seemed to fill our needs

In spite of what I might be told

I can tell when something's wrong

I keep on praying what over and over

Can only last so long



Move along move along and lose a friend

Just as well, just as well we've reached the end

Ah, things have changed



I think I'm done with trying

I don't understand

Or maybe I understand too well

But then that emptiness

I thought was gone comes back sometimes

And drops me in it's well

In spite of what I might be told

I can tell when something's wrong

I keep on praying what over and over

Can only last so long
