Sympathy for the world

Of all the times i've tried to talk to you

and acted out of line

please understand

when I tell you more than anything

why must we hold a candle to all our shames?

I forgave my enemies

but I never forgot their names

of all the times i've tried to talk to you

this time I think i'm fine

we'll make it through

'cuz i'll never want you to cry

and there's no fire without lots of smoke

everyone laughed, I didn't get the joke

but i'm secure with my insecurity

and i'm so sure with my uncertainty

I know we're bored with our apologies

this time we're making everything we need

this time, I don't want to know what i'm thinking

i just want to know what you think

and do you think that I should think this way?
