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
