The birds are singing but it's still dark
Moving my pillow for the cold hearth
I dreamed that I was at the crossroads
Painting over the signs again

Pulling myself out of the futon
I get my hoodie and my shoes on, yeah
Treading water 'til the phone goes
Running over my lines again

But they're turning inside out
And it's bringing me down, cause

I never say what I wanna say
I'm just a puppet in my own play
I dont understand why you dont understand that I need to be heard
And im gonna find the right words

A couple argue on the high street
She wants clothes, he wants a TV
Everyone is standing at the crossroads
Painting over the signs again

Pulling myself out of my headspace
I realize im in the same place, yeah
Treading water 'til the phone goes
Running over my lines again
But they're turning inside out
And it's bringing me down, cause

I never say what i wanna say
I'm just a puppet in my own play
I dont understand why you dont understand that i need to be heard
And im gonna find the right words

I never say what i wanna say
I'm just a puppet in my own play
I dont understand why you dont understand that i need to be heard
And im gonna find the right words

Wanna go to the beach, when it's ra-aining
And take my time
I wanna have my life, do my o-own thing
And make it mine
So don't you bring me down!

I never say what i wanna say
I'm just a puppet in my own play
I dont understand why you dont understand that i need to be heard
And im gonna find the right words

I never say what i wanna say
And we gonna do it my way
I dont understand why you dont understand that im gonna be heard
And i know i found the right words
