Well, you were the aftermathOf every judgmentSo cold by the sweat thatYou’ll waste awayAnd you carry your enemiesBut they’re so familiarI’m sick of the companySo I cull the shameAnd I know you’ll say how I’m a burdenYeah, do your worst all at onceI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinking (Thinking)And it’s not the voice of all the othersYou’ve only said it to yourselfI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinkingThey come to feel like things we’re saying to ourselvesAn inch from my ears again:“You should be sorry,”A solemn man:“A better song could fix my problems”I’m tired of your questioningYou’re cut down too easilyAnd I don’t know what’s good for meI can’t decideAnd I know you’ll say how I’m a burdenYeah, do your worst all at onceI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinking (Thinking)And though they sound like one anotherYou’ve only said it to yourself
I know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinking“Now these voices have become our own.”An inch from my ears again:“You should be sorry,”A solemn man:“A better song could fix my problems”I’m tired of your questioningYou’re cut down too easilyAnd I don’t know what’s good for meI can’t decideAnd I know you’ll say how I’m a burdenYeah, do your worst all at onceI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinkingAnd it’s not the voice of all the othersYou’ve only said it to yourselfI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinking (Thinking, thinking, thinking)And I know you’ll say how I’m a burdenYeah, do your worst all at onceI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinking (Thinking, thinking, thinking)And though they sound like one anotherYou’ve only said it to yourselfI know what you want from me, from meI know what you’re thinking(Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, think-)Sometimes, the inner voice is encouraging; calling for you to run those final few yardsYou’re nearly there, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep goingIt will all be okay in the end
