Misread Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please, do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I'm doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread
[Chorus]
And what do you know?
It happened again
[Verse 2]
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
Friendship is an end
[Chorus]
What do you know?
It happened again
[Verse 1]
If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please, do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I'm doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread
[Chorus]
And what do you know?
It happened again
[Verse 2]
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
Friendship is an end
[Chorus]
What do you know?
It happened again
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
How come no one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth?
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?
[Chorus]
What do you know?
It happened again
What do you know?
[Instrumental Outro]
[Verse 3]
How come no one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth?
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?
[Chorus]
What do you know?
It happened again
What do you know?
[Instrumental Outro]
