God knows I’ve tried to bridge the gap
I’ve tried to be me and time after time I’ve lied
Just to say the things you wanted to hear
Look, look what I’ve done, look what I do
I’m starting to pull myself through

Hell could feasibly freeze
But in your eyes I’ll always be the fountainhead
The boy whose thoughts keep running away
And you know I’m right

Wasn’t it you who said that when looking
To open the eyes in my head?
And now I can see from your mistakes
You’re as blind as me, God knows I’ve tried
God knows I try to be something more than I am

Hell could feasibly freeze
But in your eyes I’ll always be the fountainhead
The boy whose thoughts keep running away
And you know I’m right

What can I say about being a fount?
It’s a game that we play, it goes 'round and around
I shall stick to the rules but I won’t suffer fools
And I won’t lose the plot and I won’t lose my cool

Can’t you see what I’ve done, can’t you see what I do?
It’s not really unique and it’s hopelessly crude
But these are my decisions, these are my mistakes
And I’ll fall down again if that’s what it takes
