PUSHED AROUND AND PUT DOWN

Haven't we always pushed you around 'til you believed what we said
And are living out the dead
Dreams of a poor girl's nightmare.

You fell asleep again tonight,
With the dreams of last night,
Etched on the back of wet eyelids.
You gave the air a goodnight kiss,
Never being one to miss,
All that consciousness forbids.

Why do you always push yourself around and put yourself down,
Count the tears that the clown,
Cries while he makes us all laugh.
Tackled the issues when you fell down
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Handful of tissues, the tears fell down.
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Pushed around and put down (put down).

I know it's tempting to talk about love but it only makes the men swoon,
Little boys who've grown too soon
To understand more than words.

Why can't you see the beauty instead of staring at the doom
And looking for a tomb
To hide in eternal unrest?

You run away from the inside,
But there is no place to hide,
Even with a drab disguise.
Losing slow while beating fast,
Your broken dream is in a cast
To fool you with what it denies.

Why do you always push yourself around and put yourself down,
Count the tears that the clown,
Cries while he makes us all laugh.
Tackled the issues when you fell down
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Handful of tissues, the tears fell down.
Pushed around
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Pushed around and put down (put down).
Pushed around and put down (put down).

Haven't we always pushed you around 'til you believed what we said...
