How Was I to Know

I just want to spend some time without you
For a while, I think about our times alone
And all the things I found. Everyone around
Me now is falling over too
Coming, going as they like without consulting you...

(Chorus)
How was I to know the reasons why
I don't know
Falling end over end and wasting self...
Dignity...

When will I find out about it, who invited who
Walking to the front door, but not expecting you
Permanent smiles echoing between the two of you
Shaking hands and making plans
There's nothing else to do...

How was I to know the reasons why
I don't know
Falling end over end and wasting self...
Sincerity...

It's a pretty game people play, it's breathing down
My spine, it's wasting my time
Games people play, it's getting under my skin so
Who am I within? ...
It's getting me down ...
It's getting me down ...

In the morning when I call my friends to
Say thank you. They say to me you're going mad
It's been long since I've seen you
I hang up and I look around, I see faces
I don't know. Empty dreams and empty
Minds all lined up in a row...

How was I to know the reasons why
I don't know
Falling end over end and wasting self...
Sincerity...
Oh, iIt's all I need...

Please help me on my way, it's all I need
Oh, iIt's a simple piece of understanding, a simple piece
Of mind, time is closing down, so pack your bags
And go astray, but who am I to tell you...
I need to tell you...
But it's getting me down ...
It's getting me down ...
