I've gone too long writing songs without passion
I can't find no kind of satisfaction
and I've gone too long
with the wrong set of notions
in my mind, in my mind... in my mind
and it's strange but I don't mind
these painful acts of kindness
I am smiling in my head...
let's leave this dangerous world behind us
I am smiling in my head
I've fallen so low
but I couldn't go any higher
if I tried, and I've tried... and now I'm tired
and I am not my own;
I won't settle for so little!
when you could have so much more... so much more
and it's strange but I don't mind
these painful acts of kindness
I am smiling in my head...
and it's strange but I should thank you
strange but I'll be frank
you've found a place inside my head.
