[Intro]
(Hello)
I pulled the window up and looked into the sky to say
(How are you?)
Alone between these walls, there’s no one but me
(Morning)
And here the daylight is covered up with pouring rain
(Ticktock)
Would someone please come by and wind me up today?

[Interlude]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 1]
(Hello)
I know from old cartoons characters like that exist
(How are you?)
Beloved by everyone while I am here so out of place
(Sleeping)
No matter what my heart will tell mе, I’ve got to come back to today
(Crying)
So I can raise my hand, wipе my tears away
“Oh, whatever” is the mantra I live for
And though I didn’t understand you when you said it –
I was floored – “Look, I’m sorry, but I’m through
I’ve got no expectations of you”
I admit it, I feel the same way
’Cause nothing else is working, I can barely make it day to day
But what made you think that would be all right to say?
[Verse 2]
Fumbling, stuttering, the words that I still fight to say
Fantasy, reality I hide from every day
Once again I couldn’t talk, another set of words I’ve lost
I’m stumbling through everything trying to live my life

[Chorus]
Tell me why you run away and keep it all inside
Tell me, are you just afraid of letting free your mind?
Tell me if you don’t want anybody to meet you
Tell me, is that the truth?
So deep within the waters of the ocean called indifference
The pain is filling up my lungs, and I can barely breathe
And in the end I have the urge to hear a person speak
I am so very weak

[Interlude]
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
La-da-da-da-da
Ooh, ooh, ooh, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-da

[Verse 3]
I settle into pain as if I’m moving on to nothing
My head is feeling heavy and my heart is slowly sinking
Could there be a reason now for me to go and settle down?
Sorry, sorry, I know that it’s selfish
I’m sure that I can do it, I’ll simply muscle through it
So with that said, would you please let me on my way?
A happy face or growing pains
It really doesn’t seem to change
The sun will glow and brush my soul for better or for worse
If I’ve tried my very best and there is nothing of me left
What good could you expect to do?
What do you want from me?
[Chorus]
Tell me, why is it you’re feeling so defeated?
Tell me, do you really want to be completed?
Tell me, who was it that let your hand fall to your side?
Tell me, can you decide?
If my life is really gonna end before I know
Then when can I begin to live and learn to let it go?
I’m slowly coming to my limit, so where’s my pay
For staying living this way?

[Interlude]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
(Thank you)
I really want to thank you for all you’ve done
(Thank you)
I really want to thank you for all you’ve done
(Thank you)
And even if I only can say this once
Despite whatever’s going on inside of me
I’m trying, so I really need to open up and thank you

[Chorus]
Tell me why you run away and keep it all inside
Tell me, are you just afraid of letting free your mind?
Tell me, ’cause I promise that I’ll take you seriously
So just come talk to me
Tell me every bit of what you’re feeling, let it go
’Cause if you keep it locked away, then I can never know
All the thoughts inside your head, I want to hear every one
Let your heart come undone
[Outro]
Oh-oh (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Hello, how are you?
Oh-oh (La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
Hello, how are you?
Oh-oh (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Hello, how are you?
Oh-oh, oh-oh (La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
Hello, how are you?
Oh-oh
