You say we're not so different.

That we sing the same life-song

You say we've both lived well,

But darling, you are wrong.

Have you ever felt so angry

That you thought you might explode?

Have you ever felt so terrified

Of the truth behind the code?

Have you ever felt so lost

That you couldn't see the light?

Have you ever felt so wrong

That you knew you must be right?

I could tell you all these things,

These feelings in my mind.

But then you'd have to think on them

And your heart'd get left behind.

I could help you understand

The things you wish to see,

But I won't help you understand,

For then you might see me.

Have you ever been so cold,

That you couldn't feel your heart?

Have you ever been so blind,

That you couldn't do your part?

Have you ever been so hot

That you couldn't sweat at all?

Do you ever feel so huge,

That you know you're really small?

No, this answer is,

And to that and that as well.

You've never felt a thing

That wasn't oh, so swell.

You cannot see

The fear I hold inside:

That the only time I tell the truth

They'll all think I've lied.

You will never be so angry

That you punch a wall, unthinking.

You will never be so terrified,

That you stand there without blinking.

You will never feel so lost

That you cannot feel the way.

No, you'll never feel so wrong

That you'll lose the light of day.

No, don't worry, darling.

I'm sorry I must say

That you'll never have to be afraid

'cause you'll always get your way.

And now, to close, yes listen well,

I'll say this, and, yes, it's key,

You've never been more wrong,

You're not anything like me.
