lyrics

Question

Do you know by the end of the show, you recommended to go,
well I went, even though you offended me. Yes, you did.
You couldn't say which way to take, a mistake I won't make
twice a day, but here to stay was too much asked and also fake, so this is it

Can't you see – I'm getting older – yes I am
Can't you see – What's on my shoulder – well, here I am

Well, I've got a question for you
Do you even know which way to go
Or is being lost your way of saying sorry
I've got a question for you
Is the way to act part of the show
Or do you not accept what's done to be the past

Well at last, the dice are cast, and sure we're getting somewhere finally and now it's time to see
the insights that you made
Were just a trade between faith when you preyed while you prayed
and you said it would be great, but wait it wasn't actually,
and factually it wasn't even straight

Well, I've got a question for you
Do you ever know which way to go
Or is being lost your way of saying sorry
I've got a question for you
Is the way you act part of the show
Or is your silence supposed to make me feel less bad

I would like to ask a question
I would like to ask you please
I would like to ask a question
I would like to make you plead

Now it's the end of the song, and my friend, you were wrong
And you are not aware that even though you do not care you play along, don't you

Can't you see – I'm getting older – yes I am
Can't you see – What's on my shoulder – well, here I am

Well, I've got a question for you
Do you ever know which way to go
Or do you feel the need of changing love for glory
I've got a question for you
Do you ever feel like letting go
Or do you not accept what's done to be the past
