what it is that you want from me today?
what words do you want me to say?
should i point to the bottom, should i point to the top?
should i point out that this game needs to stop?
i can't be the one to do it all every time
get it in your head, i'm not here for you

i'm getting by ok, kinda fine right now
but i don't need to do what i did before
i'm not rooted down, at least not right now
nothing can last, everything must pass
there was never a "how are you?", just a string of demands
get it in your head, i'm not here for you

i'm not keeping track of what page i'm on
what will you say when the words have gone
right now i'm here, tomorrow some place else
i can't stand still, statues get pulled down
i can only change who i am, i can't change anyone else
get it in your head, i'm not here for you

how are you going to spin it, when you're not winning
and there is only you to blame?

there is no reason to try and figure it out
i'll connect with those who show me their heart
i'm in the centre of a passing storm
not even your love could keep me warm
maybe this is goodbye, but maybe i'll come back
get it in your head, i'm not here for you

how long will it take for you to understand
love is in the eyes but i'm hiding mine
the sun is shining and i feel so free
i've got a steady pace, no you can't catch me
i can't make you listen to any words i have to say
get it in your head, i'm not here for you

what i believe in is very dear to me
it's something special not just a badge to wear
i'll talk with anyone to help the day pass
are you worth my time, will our connection last?
the clock is ticking when's the next train due?
get it in your head, i'm not here for you
