Your stubborness bothers me
Your wrecklessness troubles me
Why you act the way you do
Is a mystery
A mystery that I want to solve
You say and do
The first thing that pops in your head
Have you ever given a thought
That that stays with me until I go to bed
Why do you do
The things that you do now
Why do you ignore
The things that are so bloody blatant
You say
That you don't care
That your parents are split, that they don't speak
You say
That you don't care
If your mother would disappear for a month or two
You say
That you don't care
About the feelings of your friends
You can keep kidding yourself
But I know better
You do care
You do care
You just can't handle
Just can't handle
Just can't handle
Just can't handle the truth
You can't handle the truth
You can't go through one conversation
Without an insult
Or a swear word that would make nuns blush
You join in with your friends' taunts
Yet you're also the one who halts their tracks
What is going on inside your head
What are you thinking
What makes you do the things you do
Tell me I beg you
Or sign it to me
Because right now I love and hate you
You say
That you don't worry
About whether or not I am safe
You say
That you don't care
That I don't tell you certain things
You can keep kidding yourself
But I know better
You do care
You do care
You just can't handle
Just can't handle
Just can't handle
Just can't handle the truth
You can't handle the truth
You may be a year away from adulthood
But I am more grown-up than you already
I keep hoping that one day
You'll snap out of this crazed trance
And give other things a chance
You break the hearts of family and friends
But if I told you this
You'd say you don't care
You say
That it doesn't bother you
What people think about what you have to say
You say
That it doesn't bother you
Living in an area of isolation
You can keep kidding yourself
But I know better
You do care
You do care
You just can't handle
Just can't handle
Just can't handle
Just can't handle the truth
You can't handle the truth
Snap out of it
Snap out of it
Snap out of it
You just can't handle the truth
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
You can't handle the truth
Remove the veil of illusion
Awake yourself from this dillusion
You can't handle the truth
