LYRICS:

VERSE 1

I’m sick n tired

Of looking through my window

I guess you’re never gonna come

VERSE 2

I never know, with you it’s

Always something

I guess you’re really not the one

BRIDGE 1

You pull me down

It’s hard to keep on going

I try to tell myself you must be joking

It’s gonna have to change

Please tell me that I’m wrong

I want you to be real and understand the way I feel

CHORUS

I, I, I…

I ain’t ever gonna cry

Too bad you’re not there

When I’m on a roll

I, I, I…

I’m a bringing down the sky

Too bad

You will never know

VERSE3

I wanna take a minute

Tell you something

But will you listen to me now?

VERSE4

If you don’t take the time

To know yourself, boy

How ‘you ever gonna know about the way I wanna grow

BRIDGE2

You’ll never understand

That’s my frustration

Maybe you simply lack imagination

If you’re not gonna change

You’re always gonna be

Stuck inside your little world

And there’s no room in there for me

CHORUS

I, I, I…

I ain’t ever gonna cry

Too bad you’re not there

When I’m on a roll

I, I, I…

I’m a bringing down the sky

Too bad

You will never know

MIDDLE-8

When you act too cool

I just see a fool

Just a know-it-all

Who’s about to fall

Search and you will find

Open up your mind

But if you just pretend

You’ll never understand

Because…
