Quietly thinking to myself
Sharing half our mind instead of none
The shaking's just begun, the pleasantries are gone
This sad exchange pleased neither one of usSo we finally gave up
The meanings tend to give out
The time was gone to act out
This living torture, living tortureNo talking when I want you to listen
No talking 'cos it's living torture, living tortureDon't know why, don't know why, we can't stand aside
There are too many faces we don't see right
If I had known back then whatever I know now
I'd think I'd have answers but I don't know whySo we finally gave up
The meanings tend to give out
The time was gone to act out
But here I am and I'm still livingNo talking when I want you to listen
No talking 'cos it's living torture, living torture
No talking when I want you to listen
Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to youBoth of us know what it sounds like in my mind
Now both of us know what it sounds, it sounds like
Both of us know what it sounds like in my mind
Now both of us know, now both of us knowNo talking when I want you to listen
No talking 'cos it's living torture, living torture
No talking when I want you to listen
Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you, to you, to youQuietly thinking to myself
This sad exchange pleased neither one of us
