Words seem to get in the way
Of all of the things were reluctant to say
Its all for the best and its all very well
But these are the things that we dont want to tell

Maybe youre just like me
Maybe youd rather not know
Or maybe youre just like me
Sick of protecting the status quo

Why would you bother just to say
When were so much happier this way
Why would you stand up just to tell
What we both know so very well

Two times I have tried and
Two times I have learned
That too much compassion and
Not much concern for yourself
Quite often leaves you with
Something to prove

But maybe youre just like me
Maybe youd rather not know
Or maybe youre just like me
Sick of protecting the status quo

Why would you bother just to say
When were so much happier this way
Why would you stand up just to tell
What we both know so very well

We know that
