[Intro]
I'm singing this song, but it's about you
Whoever else is listening, it's only about you
See there's just one story, and everyone's the star
And it goes like this
No one will ever love you for everything you are

[Interlude]

[Verse]
And so you build up layers of deception
And you leave out things to alter the perceptions
Of the ones you love, who would never love you back
If they knew all about you, every solitary fact
And the sadness of your life is built upon this lack
Of really knowing anyone or having them know you
It's the sadness of the world, there's nothing left to do
And so just go to sleep, just let the hours pass
Sleep it all away, none of it will last
Soon it's all over, you're under clover
And none of it matters anymore
