The People You Never Really Trusted

Did you know
You tell a lot and never show
You talk too fast and listen way too slow
Did you know
Are you mad
The shiny things you never had
It’s a drug, and it’s easy to go bad bad bad
Are you mad
And I wonder how you ever got so angry
The gratitude you missed with your swinging wild fist
You’ll take my time enough to finally blame me
For the moment we first kissed and I wound up on your list
Of the people you never really trusted
Do you care
The box you’re in is made of air
Nothing real ever really told you life was fair
Do you care
And I wonder how we ever get so blinded
By what we think we need, what it looks like to succeed
But do you even want to be reminded
That no matter what the speed, you’re not close to breaking free
From the people you never really trusted
Line ‘em up against the wall
And tell everybody else for once and for all you know
Your secret’s safe with someone new
If only you could hold on to the strength you need
To truly close your eyes
Good night
Good night
Do you doubt
That you’ve yet to figure out
The time we have is running out
Do you doubt
And I wonder where I’ll be the day you get it
That everything you see is all you let yourself believe
And will I know if you had grown up to regret it
And will this moment be something I can still retrieve
From the people you never really trusted
