It's obvious that dealing with this is tearing you apart I'd like to try to say I could help you more, but I've already done my part. We'll try to talk through this affliction, we'll talk the whole night through but when she comes around again you'll say you feel like she needs you Well, I can't believe that you're willing to be afflicted because weakness and love are not one in the same Why can't you try to understand, why can't you walk away? I walk a lonely path in a lonely town but I'd rather live this way than to suffer Subjugation from a self-obsessive queen You didn't want to believe she's not what she seems you close your eyes so you can't see, and you can't hear a word I say Is anybody there really listening, does anybody hear? You lift her up again and when she's up again she won't even let you near And now you're sitting all alone staring again at the telephone you think she's thinking of you, but she's not thinking of you her mind is as empty as your stare They say the grass is always greener on the other side because you want what you can't have, and all that you have is my sympathy well, my sympathy you have I'm not trying to be her enemy, I'm trying to be your friend Sometimes I want to scream "what's wrong with you? don't turn your back again " Is anybody there really listening does anybody hear? You lift her up again and when she is up again she won't even let you near And now you're sitting all alone staring again at the telephone you think she's thinking of you, but she's not thinking of you her mind is as empty as your stare She lives her life alone I know you don't know why She lives her life alone she doesn't care enough to try Is anyone, is anyone is anybody there?
