The thought lays heavy on my mind;
how can you be so unkind?
Looking for a common ground,
that we're never going to find..
How can you be so unkind?
I still have dreams,
and things I want to do.
But I never would tell you.
'Cause you take,
what I make,
and turn it in-
-to a mistake.
A handshake,
a heartbreak.
For old times,
for God's sake.
Thinking back when we were at school;
you were the coolest kid I knew.
I know that you think now,
I took you for a fool,
but you were the coolest kid I knew.
I was just as scared and awkward and confused,
but I doubt you had a clue.
Because, oh,
you take,
what I make
And turn it in-
-to a mistake.
A handshake,
a heartbreak.
For old times,
for God's sake.
I have a monster on my shoulder
He speaks with your voice,
he wears your face.
And every now and then,
I think I've shook him off.
But when I check,
he's still in place.
