lyrics

BY THEIR STANDARDS
SOMEHOW I’M SURELY BOUND TO HIT A WALL
“I CAN’T UNDERSTAND HER”
THEY SIGH WHILE THEY’RE WALKING THROUGH A SHOPPING MALL

SHE’S NOT LOVED
THAT MUST MEAN SHE’S NOT LOVABLE
SHE’S TOO TOUGH
NOT WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE

THAT GIRL’S GOT TOO MUCH EMOTION INSIDE
HOW CAN SHE GO THROUGH HER LIFE
FIGHTING FOR A STRANGER THAT SHE HAS NO TIES TO
THEY SAY FOCUS ON YOU
BUT DO IT LIKE I DO

BY THEIR STANDARDS
I SHOULDA GIVEN UP AND MOVED ALONG
“WHERE WILL THIS LAND HER?” THEY SAY
AS THEY MUTTER ON AT HOW I’M WRONG

SHE’S UNKNOWN
THAT MUST MEAN SHE’S NOT WORTH KNOWING
SHE’S NOT SHOWN
OR NOT WORTH THE SHOWING

THAT GIRLS GOT TOO MUCH EMOTION INSIDE
HOW CAN SHE GO THROUGH HER LIFE
FIGHTING FOR A STRANGER THAT SHE HAS NO TIES TO
THEY SAY FOCUS ON YOU
BUT DO IT LIKE I DO

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE
NOBODY IN THE WORLD IS LISTENING
IF I HAD DIMES FOR ALL THE TIMES
I FELT LOST WELL I’D HAVE ENOUGH TO BUY A DIAMOND RING
NOW I LIVE ONLINE WHERE I FALL BEHIND
AND MY MIND’S IS LIKE A BALL OF STRING UNRAVELING
IF I SCREAM OUT LOUD WHEN NO ONE’S AROUND
THERE’S A SOUND BUT IT DOESN’T BUILD A FOLLOWING

THAT GIRL’S GOT TOO MUCH EMOTION INSIDE
HOW CAN SHE GO THROUGH HER LIFE
FIGHTING FOR A STRANGER THAT SHE HAS NO TIES TO
THEY SAY FOCUS ON YOU
BUT DO IT LIKE I DO
