You used to be honest, but now you pretend,
You said you don't want this again and again,
You reject the concept,
But it's true,

You're facing a conflict, you have to defend,
You're stuck in a moment, that may never end,
You think I don't know you,
But I do,

If you let me in then maybe you can let you win,
You're being kind and cruel, I'm in the vestibule,
You've got my foot in the door,
We're prisoners to this war of accord,

You tell me to go, I already know,
The question is, though,
How can I?

If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,

You try to hide the rising tide,
Conceal the rage that builds inside,
But I couldn't have a better view

Your pure indignation is right and it's wrong,
Your exasperation is leading you on,
You think I don't know you,
But I do

If you let me in then maybe you can let you win,
You're being kind and cruel, I'm in the vestibule,
You've got my foot in the door,
We're prisoners to this war of accord,

You tell me to go, I already know,
The question is, though,
How can I?

If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,

You're all out of hope,
You don't let it show,
But it's harder to give up than try,

If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,

And through all the awkward pauses,
I'm wondering why,
For all the distress it causes,
There's a glimmer of light,

You tell me to go, I already know,
The question is, though,
How can I?

If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,

You're all out of hope,
You don't let it show,
But it's harder to give up than try,

If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,
