lyrics

feel the world watch as you crash and burn
wheels in the air
strangers' necks stretch as they pass right by
pretend to care
if they stood still, if they looked real close
they'd see the truth
but they drive on, back into their lives
no time for you

don't talk don't talk it out cause they've heard it all
don't change don't change a bit cause change is too hard
don't you dare say to me you know how it feels
just fake just fake it off until its too real

feel the sweat fall as the sun beats down
you squint to see
all the air dies as the bell jar drops
you try to breath
if you talk fast, if you try too hard
they'll know for sure
when the time's right, you can slip away
you've done your part

don't talk don't talk it out cause they've heard it all
don't change don't change a bit cause change is too hard
don't you dare say to me you know how it feels
just fake just fake it off until its too real

all your friends, they've stopped calling in
go outside again
can't you see, there's a life to lead
please just smile for me
feelings fade, nothing stays the same
soon your heart will change

don't talk don't talk it out cause they've heard it all
don't change don't change a bit cause change is too hard
don't you dare say to me you know how it feels
just fake just fake it off until its too real
