[Intro]

I reckon you have something to say

Like you always do

Disguised with an urge to control

Like always, it's all about you

And the plans that you've made

[Verse 1]

Never and ever, I will let you in

'Cause you command lives with passion

A hidden agenda has risen from

Your precious insecurity... now

[Chorus]

How could anyone

Stand to be around you?

The profound you... Let me be

Always seem to feel

How we're safe and sound to

Relate to you

[Post-Chorus]

Your broken dreams is all I see

[Verse 2]

The way you get to me

Still puzzles my thoughts

It ought to cease

When the day is done

But it tears me apart

It twists my conscience

I've never felt such impact

On my emotions

[Verse 3]

I cringe by your presence

I hide and I tremble

I feel no connection

Just disgust and anger

I lash out from memories

Daggers of the mind

I've tried so hard...

Please believe me

[Chorus]

How could anyone

Stand to be around you?

The profound you... Let me be

Always seem to feel

How we're safe and sound to

Relate to you

[Bridge]

Did I put this curse upon myself?

(It shatters my daydreams alone)

Do I leave or just ignore the fact

That it will never leave my system?

I see you've found a way

To infiltrate the poison

It's really more than I can take

I hereby declare you nonexistent

Never to return... Go!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

How could anyone

Stand to be around you?

The profound you... Let me be

Always seem to feel

How we're safe and sound to

Relate to you

[Outro]

Your broken dreams is all I feel
