They painted up your secrets with the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go, when the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming, no one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading and you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father, 'cause she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go, 'cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying, nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you and you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you but you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you, 'cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming, you're not listening anyway
