I misjudged what I meant to you 
 But now I understand 
 So won't you understand 
 It took my lies just to see the truth 
 So don't throw it all away 
 Because of my one mistake 
    We have come so far 
 But it's got me nowhere 
 Can't you see me standing here?   
 I keep reaching out 
 You keep preaching doubt 
 This feeling of beyond repair 
 I can't keep reaching out 
 If the way you choose to see me now (see me now) 
 Becomes a cross I have to bear 
 I keep falling down your stare 
 La la la la la la la la la 
 La la la la la la la la la 
 La la la   
 It's another day you say it's behind us now 
 But your mood's turned around 
 Before I can turn around 
 And get lost in the world 
 Where words are meaningless 
 Nothing's good enough 
 Until we can give our best   
 We have come so far 
 But it's got us nowhere 
 Can't you see I'm dyin' here?   
 I keep reaching out 
 You keep preaching doubt 
 This feeling of beyond repair 
 I can't keep reaching out 
 If the way you choose to see me now (see me now) 
 Becomes a cross I have to bear 
 I keep falling down your stare 
 La la la la la la la la la 
 La la la la la la la la la 
 La la la   
 Well, sorry's just such a sorry state 
 I can't keep holdin' on 
 If you keep raking me through the coals 
 Of a past that I can't change 
 Cuz if I could, I would   
 We have come so far 
 But it's got me nowhere   
 I can't keep reaching out 
 If the way you choose to see me now (see me now) 
 Because the cross I have to bare 
 I keep falling down your stare 
 La la la la la la la la la 
 La la la
