A letra:

It doesn't matter what I say
You never listen, anyway
Just don't know what you're looking for
Imagination's all I have
But even then, you say it's bad
Just can't see why we disagree

Casual conversations, how they bore me
Yeah, they go on and on, endlessly
No matter what I say, you'll ignore me anyway
I might as well talk in my sleep
I could weep

You try to make me feel so small
Until there's nothing left at all
Why go on
Just hoping that we'll get along

There's no communication left between us
But is it me or you, who's to blame
There's nothing I can do, yes, you're fading out of view
Don't know if I feel joy or pain
It's such a shame

And now it seems it's all been said
If you must leave, then go ahead
Should feel sad
But I really believe that I'm glad
I really believe that I'm glad
I really believe that I'm glad
