a Pocket Full Of Posers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm so tired I don't know what to do
It's hard to figure out what we're going to do
And the differences between me and you
Chorus
Only time will tell what we have to do
To make our problems go away
But in the end we'll be okay
Nothing's getting any better
Will things keep on getting worse
Weeks go by and I still can't make you happy
What do I have to do
What do I have to do to make you understand I really care
It hurts me when you say it seems like nothing's there
