I can't believe
I never thought you'd leave
I may be nothing like them
But hey, that's me
And apparently
You still tear at me
Like always

So keep on doing what you're trying to do
And keep on proving what you're trying to prove
And keep on going where you're trying to go
I hope you're happy with the Average Joe

Tell me you sold out to him
Tell me you're only joking
Tell me that you'll be back
When your world is cracked
And you're all alone again

You said you want to spread your wings
And see what others can bring
We should cut out your tongue
For saying awful things
And apparently
You can't bear with me
Anymore, I see

So keep on doing what you're trying to do
And keep on proving what you're trying to prove
And keep on going where you're trying to go
I hope you're happy with the Average Joe

Tell me you sold out to him
Tell me you're only joking
Tell me that you'll be back
When your world is cracked
And you're all alone again

This is for the nights that we've blown
And for the nights that you're alone
For the nights that we've blown
And for the nights that you're alone

Tell me you sold out to him
Tell me you're only joking
Tell me that you'll be back
When your world is cracked
And you're all alone again

Can his words make you fly
While you're standing still?
Can his words make you cry
Like I know these will?
