Duration: P00H02M33S

lyrics

you may feel a little cocky
you may feel a bit afraid
but so long as you are reaching
you will never feel like you've got it made

and I know why
your heart grows colder as you feed your head
and I know why
you're crying in an empty bed

you can claim to know the reasons
you can claim to write the rhymes
but so long as you are dreaming
you will never quite fit in with the times

and I know why
your eyes keep spinning from the things I said
and I know why
you're crying in an empty bed

so you're feeling untogether
so you're never satisfied
that just means you're on the right track
that just means at least you tried

you can try your best to fit in
you can try your best to blend
but so long as you are living
you will never know who's really your friend

and I know why
your VU meter's always in the red
and I know why
you're crying in a empty bed
