What a waste I see you now and then

But mostly we pretend

We're not more strangers than we're friends
Then we say what we need to say
To try and get away
From the tension we create
Why can't we say the things?
The things we wish we would?
Why can't we laugh the way
The way we know we should?
Fall under the weight of all the pressure that's misplaced
Flaws that I embrace
Everybody sees your head's hung low
They don't ask, they don't want to know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark
I'll be your light led through the darkness
Everybody sees your head's hung low
They don't ask, they don't want to know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark
I'll be your light led through the darkness
I get...
I get...
I get so misunderstood
Something changed the way we interact
Now we can't get it back
Another relic of the past 
-Relic of the past-
Makes you think, did I ever know you at all?
Follow until I fall
Vultures circling in the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun
Why can't we say the things?
The things we wish we would?
Why can't we laugh the way
The way we know we should?
Fall under the weight of all the pressure that's misplaced
Flaws that I embrace
Everybody sees your head's hung low
They don't ask, they don't want to know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark
I'll be your light led through the darkness
Everybody sees your head's hung low
They don't ask, they don't want to know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark
I'll be your light led through the darkness
I get...
I get...
I get so misunderstood
You can't just avoid the issue
You should have learned from the things
We've been hrough
You don't know what you have until it's lost
Till the hammer drops
Brace
Fall 
(bis)
Fall under the weight of all the pressure that's misplaced
Flaws that I embrace
Everybody sees your head's hung low
They don't ask, they don't want to know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark
I'll be your light led through the darkness
Everybody sees your head's hung low
They don't ask, they don't want to know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark
I'll be your light led through the darkness
I get...
I get...
I get so misunderstood
