They laugh at me
I’m all alone
They question me
In jagged tones
They try to tell me what’s true
And what’s not true
As if they knew
As if they knew
They tell me how to feel
They tell me what I’m worth
They tell me how I’ve failed
All in their own words
They tell me how to love
And how to get along
Passion’s all right
As long as it’s not too strong
Here’s how you play the game
Here’s how you play your part
Here’s how you go along
Here’s how to neglect your heart
Fixed life
Like the stars
Never moving
Never far
