something i can't do

When everything's great
And not as blue
And everything's great
When I come back to you (come back to you)
But everything great
Is never as good
'Cause everything that's great
Is always misunderstood (misunderstood)

And I don't wanna know
Where I wanna go

If I lived up to be where I am
And gave it all away, would I do it all again?
If it all worked on the other hand
To be unafraid, maybe then I'd have a chance
If I only knew
There's less that I can lose
Save, save myself the pain
But that's something I can't do

When everyone's gone
But everyone's around
Whichever way you look
You don't feel safe and sound (safe and sound)
No matter how it hurts
You'll never find the words to
Explain how you suffer
Because it only gets worse

And I don't wanna know
Where I wanna go

If I lived up to be where I am
And gave it all away, would I do it all again?
If it all worked on the other hand
To be unafraid, maybe then I'd have a chance
If I only knew
There's less that I can lose
Save, save myself the pain
But that's something I can't do

(Would I do it all again?)
(Tell me I have a chance)
(If I only knew)
