I don't hear you
I don't hear anything
I'm a million miles away
In another place, another time
And all the same old faces
Funny, they still look the same
Only the names have been changed
The words you're saying
They're the same old lines
The same old lies
It's funny but >I've< changed
I'm on to your games
I've learned how to play,
How to beat you at your own game
I don't see you
I don't see anything
I'm a milion miles away
In another place, another time
Ans all the same old faces
Funny, they still look the same
Only the names have been changed
I see your lips moving
But the words are never clear
It's like a silent movie,
The voices out of sync
The words don't seem to belong
I guess I've learned
To read between the lines
To find out what you really mean
I don't feel you
I don't feel anything
I'm a million miles away
In another place, another time
And all the same old faces
Funny, they still look the same
Only the names have been changed
I know you took my hand
But I can't feel it
I've become incredibly numb
From all too much pain
Feeling is something beyond me,
Something I'm incapable of
And feelings are something I no longer have
Feelings like anger, hate, and love
I don't know you
I don't know anything
I'm a million miles away
In another place, another time
And all the same old faces
Funny, they still look the same
Only the names have been changed
I don't know you
You're a stranger to me
As I turn away,
You grab me by the arm
What right do you have?
You gave your rights up
A long time ago
You no longer exist
In my reality
I don't think about you
I don't think about anything
I'm a million miles away
In another place, another time
And all the same old faces
Funny, they still look the same
Only the names have been changed
I don't think about you
You're a million miles away
In another place, another time
I've left you
Light years behind.
