Lyrics
I am the face of shame
You’d better believe I understand there’s no one else to blame
I am the poison weed
That grows up with your pretty flowers and destroys the leaves
And though my feet won’t touch the ground
My lips move and make no sound
I find my head keeps spinnin’ round
I wish I knew. I wish I knew
You are a dream to me
And you helped me to remember who I used to be
But I see a dimming light
And my dreams begin to crumble with the way we fight
I miss her body next to me
To stroke her hair as she falls asleep
My mind will never set me free
I wish I knew. I wish I knew.
I guess that’s what is best for me
To just bow out and let it be
Will everyone be fine without me?
I wish I knew. I wish I knew
