Nerves left exposed
what happened to my mask
I tried to hold it together so well
whats the use in that
I'm finally able to tell
I'm not in for lines
I dont want nothin for sale
theres somethin in a mans voice
it can tell you that your home
I might be too old when I find it
but I'd still rather be alone
then to live my life like a play
best actress
and my home is a stage
I tried it once
and just got lost in the script
so wherever your goin
I know its just a trip
Dont lie to me
with a straight face
you might think your smooth
but your just a thief
ready to steal something you didnt earn
your not dealing with most
I am not unlearned
so I just smile and nod
until the lies have settled
and your standing there caught
I'll be lookin at you
like
I told you
I told you so
There somethin in a mans' voice
tells me everything
Tells me when I'm home
or it just tells me
that I'm really still alone
and I maybe passed my prime
when I find that sacred ground
But I'll never be lost
until the day I am found
It's got to be that way
or I'd rather be alone
or I'd rather be alone
