lyrics

Your longing makes me numb
so let's not jump the gun
the marketplace is closed
your nostalgia exposed
All this talk is vain
there's nothing to explain
I like to be alone
In a world of my own

I am not an object in your tidy little world
You cannot buy me with a waterfall of words

Your stories full of fateful dates
Just won’t resonate
First they make me doubt you
And then they burn me out
Somewhere along your script
I cease to exist
your number’s still the same
You haven’t really changed

I am not a footnote in your shiny resume
Nor am I fabricated by your fantasies
I’m sorry but I’m real
And this is how I feel

Your mother might not like it
but this is how I tick
I don’t want to yell again
And be rude to your friends
and as your patience goes
your disappointment shows
I'm better off alone
in a world of my own

I am not a character in anybody's play
happy endings have never been my forte
I’m sorry but I’m real
And this is how I feel
