Sad Exchange

Quietly thinking to myself

Sharing half our mind instead of none

The shaking's just begun

The pleasantries are gone

This sad exchange pleased neither one of us

So we finally gave up

The meanings tend to give out

The time was gone to act out

This living torture, living torture

No talking when I want you to listen

No talking 'cause it's living torture, living torture

Don't know why, don't know why, we can't stand aside

There are all too many faces, we don't see right

If I had known back then

Whatever I know now

I'd think I'd have answers but I don't know why

So we finally gave up

The meanings tend to give out

The time was gone to act out

But here I am and I'm still living

No talking when I want you to listen

No talking 'cause it's living torture, living torture

No talking when I want you to listen

Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you

Both of us know

What it sounds like in my mind

Now both of us know

What it sounds like, it sounds like

Both of us know

What it sounds like in my mind

Now both of us know

Now both of us know

No talking when I want you to listen

No talking 'cause it's living torture, living torture

No talking when I want you to listen

Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you

To you

To you

Quietly thinking to myself

This sad exchange pleased neither one of us
