Lyrics

Lay it on me, break it down
Bend the truth and wear it out
Tell me stories, tell me lies
tell me anything i dont mind

Just sing your song while the world tumbles on
It don't matter if no one else sings along
Sing your song while the world stumbles on
Because no one knows whats really going on

Feel the burning, kill the pain
save 'em now and they will do it all again
Listen closely, listen well
listen to me, listen to yourself

And Sing your song while the world tumbles on
It don't matter if no one else sings along
Sing your song while the world stumbles on
Because no one knows whats really going on
