Lessons in Miscommunication Part 1 by The Lonely Forest Lyrics

Look at me, an awful mess
I try to breathe but I must confess
They say that I'm seeing the world when I'm here at home
I make a call to reach a friend
But you're never there so I pretend
I'm with you and having a laugh
But it just won't do. It isn't true

Here alone with my thoughts
So I get stoned and shake it off
But it squeezes the life from my bones
And I feel unknown

[Chorus]
They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once
They always read, read me wrong
Assuming that I am always gone
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you
In my room with a record on
It comforts me to hear Bazan
He translates feelings to song
And I sense his pain
It stays with me
Do you know my words are true?
Can I sing my song for you?
Listen close cause I'm spilling my heart for the first time

[Chorus]

I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow the pill you give me

[Chorus]

I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow
