People are strange, this I have learned
I should thank Jim for the quotable phrase.
Perhaps society has taught us to look for certian things,
as if we made angels of people just by puttin' them wings
like unconsciously see only what we expect to find,
then be disappointed when reality and dreams entwine.
Just like when you said the things I've been longin to hear,
I stupidly believed that it could be some kind of sign,
I made it what I wanted it to be. Not what it really was,
But to accept a mistake and an unwanted truth is hard.
One of those days when I search for answers in display,
Someone said to me "enjoy any love that comes your way"
I agreed in my brain, but my heart beats in denial.
Does that mean make the lie we live last a while?
If so, I want to think it has a meaning in the end,
that it's not just an advice told to ME by mistake.
But there I go again deforming it so it fits me well,
I suppose I know I don't want to be what I hate.
I wanna know what I'm looking for when I go on a date,
I wanna know what I'm able to give to whom I call my soulmate.
I wanna know what I need to feel to call someone my friend,
I wanna know what friends want so I'm not a disappointment.
Kind words seem now an irrelevant thing to look for,
cause people claim them even if they don't mean a word.
I could quote all the phrases that moved me some time,
But I guess I know what would be the deifinitve one:
"I'm addicted to words, and they're useless"
I just don't know what could mean more than this,
and it's eating me alive, I feel like a stranger here.
And I see people walking so confident as if they knew,
I have to ask if this is something they've all been trough.
I wanna know the answers to the most common wonders,
I wanna know why people can be so conformist,
I wanna know if theres someone out there that cares this much,
I wanna know why feelings are something I can never touch.
What I also wonder is why I spend so much time thinking,
and I don't know why I find love, and all so essential
It may be I just want to have a connection with meaning,
A moment of choice that is really existential.
Maybe the confident couples out there found what they wanted,
A stranger with the answers to the questions they had,
Or maybe they just don't find that important any of this,
But if any of you have an answer, please reveale it to me.
