Lyric Long Hot Summer

I play out my role
Why I ve even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I m beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
An the tears for real not acted, anymore

I m all mixed up inside
I want to run but I can t hide
And however much we try
We can t escape the truth and the fact is

Don t matter what I do
It don t matter what I do
Don t matter what I do
Don t matter what I do
Don t matter what I do
Cause I end up hurting you

One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can t you see that s why
We re dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime

(In my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now s pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don t know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by
