People Say
Papas Fritas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they don't ask why
People think she's tired
When they see her eyes
How can I believe them
When they don't ask why
How can I believe them
All of the love and laughter
That she holds inside
I know the secret she's after
It got left behind
People say she's angry
They don't understand
Everything just fell apart
And crumbled in her hands
Now she's just a stranger
Biding her own time
Faces wouldn't change her
Even when they tried
All of the love and laughter
That she holds inside
I know the secret she's after
It got left behind
Even lonely stars will shine.
People say she's broken
But they look away
They don't know she's workin'
Harder every day
I will never reach her
We just grew apart
She will just deceive them
Soon she'll be a star
All of the love and laughter
That she holds inside
I know the secret she's after
It got left behind.
Even sadder stars will shine

Some people think that she is crazy
But they don't ask why
However, they do not bother to understand why
People think she's tired
Some people believe that she is exhausted
When they see her eyes
When they look at her eyes
How can I believe them
How can I trust their words

People say she's angry
Some people assume that she is upset
They don't understand
However, they do not comprehend
Everything just fell apart
All things just disintegrated
And crumbled in her hands
And shattered before her own eyes
Now she's just a stranger
Now she is a mere outsider
Biding her own time
Waiting for the right moment
Faces wouldn't change her
Even people's reactions to her do not affect her
Even when they tried
Even if they put effort into it
Even lonely stars will shine
Even a star without a companion will be bright
People say she's broken
Some people claim that she is broken
But they look away
But they turn a blind eye
They don't know she's workin'
They are unaware of the effort she is putting in
Harder every day
Struggling with more dedication each day
I will never reach her
I will never be able to fully understand her
We just grew apart
We slowly drifted away from each other
She will just deceive them
She will simply mislead them
Soon she'll be a star
Soon she will be shining brightly
Even sadder stars will shine
Even the saddest stars will be bright
