Why do I try - fighting against your indifference?
I always say it's ok - I was only lying the last time
You seem to want - to hear a song written about you
Better write it yourself - or it's not gonna be very flattering

It's not how I need it
It's not how I planned it
It's not how I want it
But I got it

I admit that it's lust - frees my mind from thinking
I'm not the last one - who'll fall to that emotion
I am nothing - that's what you would have me believing
Time to move on - to bigger and better disasters

It's not how I saw it
It's not how I need it
It's not how I want it
But I got it

It's all a game
My hearts a flame
No ground to gain
A speeding train

I always know when to quit - when I've overstayed my welcome
I'm not unbreakable - sorry if I gave that impression
I try to help you - but I'm left with a handful of rope burn
If I seem bitter - at least I've conveyed my emotion

It's not how I need it
It's not how I planned it
It's not how I want it
But I got it

It's all the same
I lose again
The cause to blame
A speeding train

A speeding train
