Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts Tell me facts Throw your arms around me Do you wanna come over and kill some time? Throw your arms around me. you're everything and more but you don't seem to care so im drinking myself to the floor you walk the streets alone again but keep your head up high i never said that this was fine but all you had was a picture in your mind and how many people live their lives as a background prop sometimes the spotlight drops on me but i'm not enough and im too proud not to see light up this room cos it's dark in here and im told that you're coming round soon you're everything and more but you don't seem to care so im drinking myself to the floor everyone there will turn towards me im so obvious id love to tell you so you know but whats the point when the whole world tells you so could you light up this room anymore "I've come to realize the importance of having a skill, so you may have more opportunities in life."
