The difference between me and you
I haven't understood it all the way, really well
One of us knows how to get hurt, the other not so much
I get lost in the details and the messes, you don't
And I fear your past and my past, but you don't
Always keeps me from sleeping
Makes me see it's obvious
The difference between me and you
Then you ask me how I'm doing
And your smile switches off
The torments and the questions about feeling good or feeling bad
Torturing myself, asking myself
The difference between me and you
You: how are you? Good. Me: how am I? Dunno
One smiles at what is, the other cries over what isn't
And I think it's a mistake
I've got two or three certainties, a pint and a few friends
You've got lots of questions, some awful ones, I say
Enough to make you want to run away
Always keeps me from sleeping
Makes me see it's obvious
The difference between me and you
Then you ask me how I'm doing
And your smile switches off
The torments of the questions about feeling good or feeling bad
Torturing myself, asking myself
And if my life every now and then wiped out
The uselessness of these insecurities
I wouldn't tell you, but if
One fine day, looking out at life
All the sadness were already over
Then you ask me how I'm doing
And your smile switches off
The torments and the questions about feeling good or feeling bad
Torturing myself, asking myself
The difference between me and you
You: how are you? Good. Me: how am I? Dunno
One smiles at what is, the other cries over what isn't
And I think it'd be beautiful
I think it'd be beautiful
