When you know You don't need the time to talk about it When you hear You're heart says that you'll be fine without it It's hard to find the strength to fight a battle You're not winning From the outside we appear to be The way we've always been How I look and how I feel What I'm told and what is real That's two different things What they ask and what I pay What I think and what I say That's two different things It isn't kind, it isn't fair I have to draw the line somewhere And face the tears that it brings 'Cause what you've got and what I need Is two different things Don't you see We've been nothing but a grand illusion Pardon me if I show the world trace we're using Well I'm the first to tell you now That half the blame is mine We could keep pretending that tomorrow will be fine How I look and how I feel What I'm told and what is real That's two different things What they ask and what I pay What I think and what I say That's two different things It isn't kind, it isn't fair I have to draw the line somewhere And face the tears that it brings Cause what you've got and what I need Is two different things Everything you offer me Should make me turn and stay Black is white and wrong is right And it's hard to live that way How I look and how I feel What I'm told and what is real That's two different things What they ask and what I pay What I think and what I say That's two different things It isn't kind, it isn't fair I have to draw the line somewhere And face the tears that it brings Cause what you've got and what I need Is two different things Cause what you've got and what I need Is two different things Oh yeah, two different things Two different things
