lyrics

(lyrics)

You walk through the door
I'm not listening anymore
And the only sound is the wind
You twist my words around
Or am I just feeling down
Can't explain this state I'm in

What's right for you is not right for me
Now I see what you want me to be

Are our wires just crossed
Or am I really lost
I sit and stare through the glass
Looks like rain's on the way
Looks like whatever you say
Yes I'm afraid to ask

What's right for you is not right for me
Now I see what you want me to be
Sunrise in the wrong constellation
Star sign pointing to my destination
Take my place in a long line of confusion
Just a taste of my own brand of illusion
Brand of illusion

Like battle lines are drawn
Everything I say is wrong
And the silence cries out to us
Should we leave well enough alone
Or take what we call our own
Is it love we do not trust

What's right for you is not right for me
Now I see what you want me to be
What's right for you
