seldom are things just as they seem
the callouses grow to keep what's underneath
seeing it now I must admit
the cowardly way to keep you from me

cause I have been bought and sold
done just as I've been told (could you)
you ask me what was wrong
I'd answer nothing
nothing

finally
you are gone
can't believe that I cared once
burn this place
burn it down
nothing there is worth being saved

five years ago and I used to think
something is better then nothing
I never did learn, or did I forget
once you give it away you cannot take it back

cause I have been bought and sold
done just as I'd been told (could you)
you ask me what I'd done
was good for nothing
nothing

the closer you are, the less that see
but you're not around me

finally
you are gone
can't believe that I cared once
burn this place
burn it down
nothing there is worth being saved

finally
you are gone
can't believe what I did once
burn this place
burn it down
nothing there is worth being saved
