Clouds go rollin' by as I lay floatin' in a stream
Cars passing by, representing my life
I ain't old but I ain't young enough to cry like a baby
When I first needed you, yeah, when I first needed you
Oh, but I ain't never gonna let go
She won't let me down 'cause I ain't never, never gonna let her in
I used to have an angel, she took care of everything
When I first needed you, yeah, when I first needed you
Yeah, so sometimes we cried, maybe more than most, but so what
'Cause I've got a new friend and her name is tattooed across my chest
In my separate reality, sorry there's only room for me
I used to have everything, now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright
And somewhere in between I'll try to scrape off this war paint
Me, I'm not laughing or dancing, I see things only as they were
We shared everything, even some things we should not have shared
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside and it's surely tough
Oh, and I'm so scared but I won't tell you, for fear you'll hate me more
Of semi-consciousness, I'll follow it 'til the end
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside, yeah, tough all over
Children in the playground, laughing and dancing in the street
In my separate reality, sorry there's only room for me, for me
All the colors of the rainbow, wrapped in childlike harmony
Or at least 'til I drown in my separate reality
Sorry there's only room for me
Like my separate reality, now there's only room for me
I walk among the criminals and I pray among the saints
Me, I'm not laughing, I see things only as they were
It's cold in here in the corner of my soul, so dark and lonely
