These days I feel like Iâm watching a movie
With subtitles only I canât read the words
You do your best to make sure, I understand you
But these foreign topics always seem so absurd
And more and more I find I donât get the meaning
Though I do appreciate Your likable appeal
You say youâre trying to drive us In the right direction
But I get the feeling youâre falling asleep At the wheel
So donât say that you will when you know that you wonât
Donât say that you do when you know that you donât
'Cause the more that you give, well the less that I get
And the more that we share is the more I regret
I donât have much to believe in
Thatâs why Iâm always counting on you
I donât have much to believe in
But if I did you know, Iâd be doing it for you
And these days it feels like Iâm talking to no one
Itâs 'cause Iâm usually not, you keep pushing
For a brand new beginning but you canât release me
When I havenât been caught, you keep saying that Iâm just
Getting stranger
That you donât even know what I stand for these days
Iâd like to say, âDonât worry weâll get through itâ
But I get the feeling that this isnât just a phase
So donât tell me to yell when you want me to whisper
Donât spin the bottle if you donât want to kiss her
'Cause the closer we get, well, the further I feel
And the less that we fake, well, the more that seems real
I donât have much to believe in
Thatâs why Iâm always counting on you
I donât have much to believe in
