A While

A While

How do I feel? Alone and lousy
And I may seem selfish, but I need
A little break on my own, can't you see
I'm just tired of being phony

So for a while stop calling me, my friend
I've spent 20 years forgetting myself, and then
What else?! Am I just incomplete
Sometimes so sick of being sweet

I'm sure that far away from me
You'd feel better than down here
So why don't you take a look at this path
And then we'll see
Because you'll never ever be so far away from me...

So here I am again, in front of the TV
Watching lives more exciting than mine
Because there's always just too many good reasons
Too many reasons to be sad

I'm sure that far way from me
You'd feel better than down here
So why don't you take a look at this path
And then we'll see
Because you'll never ever be so far away from me
Why don't you try to keep your distance
Is that so weird to try to listen to myself
As long as you won't be, for a while, far away from me
I know I may be rude
But failing is always cruel
Don't wait for me to stand next to you
I won't be here for awhile

Nothing more than this silent scream inside
So what, do you wanna hear about self-control?!?
Talking a little louder than usual
Freeing myself from what I just don't wanna hold

I'm sure that far away from me...
