seldom are things just as they seem, callouses grow to keep what's underneath, seeing it now i must admit, the cowardly way to keep you from me, 'cause i have been bought and sold, done just as i've been told, when you, you ask me what was wrong, i answer nothing, nothing, finally you are gone, can't believe that i cared once, burn this place, burn it down, nothing's there worth missing, five years ago when i used to think, something is better than nothing, never did learn all did i forget, once you give it away you cannot take it back, 'cause i have been bought and sold, done just as i've been told, when you, you ask me what i've done, was good for nothing, nothing, the closer you are, the less that i see, but you're not around, finally you are gone, can't believe that i cared once, burn this place, burn it down, nothing's there worth missing, finally you are gone, can't believe that i cared once, burn this place, burn it down, nothing's there worth missing...
