Whippersnapper - Two of a Kind Lyrics

It's obvious that dealing with this
Is tearing you apart
I'd like to try to say I could help you more
But I've already done my part

We'll try to talk through this affliction
We'll talk the whole night through
But when she comes around again
You'll say, you feel like she needs you

Well, I can't believe
That you're willing to be
Afflicted because weakness and love
Are not one and the same

Why can't you try to understand
Why can't you walk away?
I walk a lonely path in a lonely town
But I'd rather live this way

Than to suffer subjugation
From a self-obsessive queen
You didn't want to believe she's not what she seems
You close your eyes so you can't see

And you can't hear a word I say

Is anybody there really listening
Does anybody hear?
You lift her up again and when she's up again
She won't even let you near

And now you're sitting all alone
Staring again at the telephone
You think she's thinking of you
But she's not thinking of you
Her mind is as empty as your stare

They say the grass is always greener on the other side
Because you want what you can't have
And all that you have is my sympathy
Well, my sympathy you have

I'm not trying to be her enemy
I'm trying to be your friend
Sometimes I want to scream
What's wrong with you?
Don't turn your back again

Is anybody there really listening
Does anybody hear?
You lift her up again and when she is up again
She won't even let you near

And now you're sitting all alone
Staring again at the telephone
You think she's thinking of you
But she's not thinking of you
Her mind is as empty as your stare

She lives her life alone
I know you don't know why
She lives her life alone
She doesn't care enough to try

Is anyone, is anyone, is anybody there?
Is anyone, is anyone, is anybody there?
Is anyone, is anyone, is anybody there?
Is anyone, is anyone, is anybody there?
