Sympathy For The World

Sympathy For The World - Down By Law

Of all the times I've tried to talk to you

And acted out of line

Please understand

When I tell you more than anything

And there's no fire without lots of smoke

Everyone laughed I didn't get the joke

Why must we hold a candle to all our shames

I forgave my enemies

But I never forgot their names

And there's no fire without lots of smoke

Everyone laughed I didn't get the joke

But I'm secure with my insecurity

And I'm so sure with my uncertainty

This time I don't want to know what I'm thinking

I just want to know what you think

And do you think that I should think this way

Of all the times I've tried to talk to you

This time I think I'm fine

We'll make it through

Cause I'll never want you to cry

And there's no fire without lots of smoke

Everyone laughed I didn't get the joke

I know we're bored with our apologies

This time we're making everything we need
