Prove Me Wrong
April 6, 2010

It's impossible not to feel hollow
When something happens to you just like this
You turn to people all around you
They tell you it must all be in your head
I need some positive attention
I need a way to clear the dust in my head
I've got no room for misconceptions
I need somewhere to rest my head.

I know by looking at you
It makes no sense to doubt you
until you prove me wrong like they did
But if you listen slowly
And absorb the whole story
I know that everything will come true.

I feel the longer that I've know you
You're sinking into a pattern with them
I've told you always that I'd need you
But I guess I can make it on my own instead
I can see it in your eyes
When you stare vacantly at me
I guess it's not a surprise
That you're not who I thought you would be.

I know by looking at you
It makes no sense to doubt you
until you prove me wrong like they did
But if you listen slowly
And absorb the whole story
I know that everything will come true.

And I can see it late at night
The way you don't answer me's not right
You're driving me out of my mind
I thought I had somewhere to hide
Or worse I thought I could confide
I thought maybe you'd hold me tight
And tell me everything's alright.

I know by looking at you
It makes no sense to doubt you
until you prove me wrong like they did
But if you listen slowly
And absorb the whole story
I know that everything will come true.
