Something Isn't Right
by: Tom WehrleSomething tells me by the way you're acting
You've done this once before
You should see this like I hear it
Cause your actions don't match your words
You play it to be dumb
More than anyone
I tried to be your friend last night
You doubt and try to leave everything out
I know that something isn't right
Nothing ever comes from nothing
At least from what I've seen
You can go on pretend to be someone
I'll keep playing me
Re-write and compromise
Right through your whole life
I tried to be your friend last night
You doubt and try to leave everything out
I know that something isn't right
You fell down on the rooftop of an emotional high
Now all you hear is singing on the radio late at night
But something isn't right
You've felt it all night
You say no one cares
But I was there
I tried to be your friend last night
You doubt and try to leave everything out
