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

_____
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
