My imagination wants to see 
The vivid colours of reality 
There's a place out there beyond my grasp 
A revolution in a looking glass 
I've got to get this problem off my chest 
I'm sick and tired of being second best 
I'll rearrange my credibility 
A fund raiser for a restless sea 

Don't ever doubt me 
What's come over you 
Won't you forgive me 
What are you gonna do? 
Don't ever doubt me 
What's come over you 
Won't you forgive me 
What are you gonna do 
What will you do 

I can't contain what's inside my head 
I'm losing words that I must have read 
Do you remember the time we spent 
It seems that we were the main event 
Have you a reason to behave like this 
Maybe you need a psychoanalyst?
If you keep pushing me out of the door 
For sure, 
You'll never see me again 

No one to talk to 
What am I gonna do 
You're never there 
Right when I need you 
Give me a cause 
Give me a reason 
For your applause 
I'll commit treason 

And in my mind I know I'm right 
It's the same thing every night 
You're not to blame so don't you cry 
You don't need me so hurt my pride 
In all that time I know we tried 
Line by line and side by side 
And still I pray that we'll get by 
But it don't seem real and I don't know why 

And in my mind I know I'm right 
It's the same thing every night 
You're not to blame so don't you cry 
You don't need me so hurt my pride 
And in my mind I know I'm right 
It's the same thing every night 
Why do you cry you're not to blame 
When will you change this sad refrain 
This sad refrain 
Oh when will you change this sad refrain.
