    Lyrics
    You walk into a room
    Like an open wound
    Seeping a sob story
    And praying for Samaritans
    To lend an open ear

    You saturate your friends
    Like a sponge of hate
    Glaring at passersby
    Who fail to pay due homage to
    Your alligator tears

    ~CHORUS~
    I know what not to say
    What not to say
    To send you reeling
    I know what not to say
    What not to say
    To hurt your feelings

    Each hug you greet me with
    Lingers a little long
    Drawing my energy
    Into the swirling emptiness
    That fills you through and through

    Each bar you wander in
    You convert into
    Some sort of group therapy
    A gang bang of psychiatry
    From children ill as you

    ~CHORUS~

    But your secrets are my history
    My own pain was your mystery
    When I loved you, you grew pissed at me
    Your every weakness you'd insist I see
    Well, now I see

    I don't know what to say
    Not what to say
    To stop this beating
    I don't know what to say
    Not what to say
    To stop my bleeding
    I don't know what to say
    Not what to say
    But how I'm trying
    I don't know what to say
    Not what to say
    To keep from dyin
