• Why do we have to play this stupid game?
    Dance this childish dance?
    Why do we have to act like kids
    This really is a stupid way to act.

    I say that to myself and to you
    I'm not saying only one is to blame
    Nope, it's definetly both of us
    I'd punch you if I didn't want this childishness to stop..

    Isn't this one of those things I hate?
    Where I'm just being stereotyped?
    Just because we're so alike..
    Do we have to be one or the other?

    Maybe I don't hate you
    Okay, so I really don't
    I don't think that you really hate me either
    Or maybe I just don't want to admit it

    Could one of us just speak up?
    .. I guess it'll have to be me
    Since you're never going to see this..
    You'll never know
    What's going on behind this mask

    This really is a stupid game.
    Could we just start being friends again?
    You don't have to tell me everything like you used to --
    Just don't laugh at me when I try to open up

    Maybe I shouldn't read those stupid books
    You know, the ones with happy endings?
    Because life isn't like that
    Not for you either

    Cause I know it's not easy for you
    I know it's not all on me
    I know you really don't have a good life
    I wish you could enjoy some things more

    I wish you would understand me when I look at you
    Look you in the eyes,
    When I'm about to say 'I'm sorry for being a jerk'
    Then you say 'You're so weird'
    And instead I turn and make jokes
    To cover up for the emotions churning

    Not really sadness, not really anything
    I've really felt before..
    Now I've probably gone on to long
    If this were to your face
    Instead of hiding in my computer

    If this were to your face..
    You'd be gone by now
    You wouldn't have listened this far.

    But please realise
    I don't hate you
    I don't
    I don't
    Please don't hate me
    Not forever, anyway

    Why do we have to play this stupid game?
    I don't hate you
    Dance this childish dance?
    I don't hate you
    Why do we have to act like kids
    I don't hate you
    This really is a stupid way to act.
