I try my best to reach perfection
|
And all I get is more rejection
|
I wanna know what you're about
|
|
It's nice to know someone's out there asking
|
But what's it worth when it's all you're telling?
|
I think it's you I've finally figured out
|
|
Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
|
What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?
|
|
I've gotten flak from all who know me
|
If you speak truth then you need to show me
|
You can't expect me to just nod my head and smile
|
Cos ignorance is not my style
|
|
As my false pride gets in the way
|
I start believing all you say
|
I cross my fingers all the while
|
|
I'm running in a different race
|
I'm out of time and out of place
|
I play the sucker all the time
|
I simply can't make up my mind
|
Whoever I choose to believe
|
Who says they won't stand up and leave
|
And who'll be waiting next in line
|
Won't you give me another sign?
|
|
Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
|
What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?
|
|
Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
|
Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
|
