Masquerade - Much The Same

Sitting here and reading your thoughts, my heart sinks once again

'Cause I caught you in another lie, find no truth in what you said

You say that you’ll hurt my feelings

You say I won’t understand

I say you’re just a coward

Just a counterfeit friend

And all the times I’ve been there, they didn’t mean a thing

At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?

Because I’m still your friend even if you don’t want me to be

My promises are haunting me, not so easily shoved aside

And yet I keep on trying to finally justify

Taking every single word back, every pledge I ever made

Because the friend I swore them to was nothing but a masquerade

And all the times I’ve been there, they didn’t mean a thing

At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?

Because I’m still your friend even if you don’t want me to be

Then you ask if something’s wrong

If only you could hear this song

You’d just make up some lame excuse

So it’s no use (it's no use) listening to you

And all the times I’ve been there, they didn’t mean a thing

At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?

Because I’m still your friend even if you don’t want me to be

What do you do when you’re not lying, do you have other words to say?

Why do I have to try so hard to keep from pushing you away?

I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?

Because I’m still your friend even if you’ve never been one to me
