You Don't Mean It

White lights Reflect the truth beneath us Don't try I'm not usually deceived like this Lighthearted words they fall like snow And usually I like the cold But not this But there's nothing to forgive And you don't mean it Mean to hurt me with your praise And you don't mean it Unlike you, my golden never stays I'm standing on your pedestal And unlike you I've got so far to go So far to go Talk to me As if I don't know what you're doing I appreciate the sentiment But you've never been through the thick of it Now have you? You stand above and love too much But in the wrong way In the only way you know how And all the noise fades out All I can hear, their voices shouting out You chose this The only thing that I can't go without is useless Understand I don't have standards When you're coming up from nothing And it hurts And you don't mean it Mean to hurt me with your praise And you don't mean it Unlike you, my golden never stays I'm standing on your pedestal And unlike you I've got so far to go So far to go And you don't mean it Mean to hurt me with your praise And you don't mean it Unlike you, my golden never stays I'm standing on your pedestal And unlike you I've got so far to go So far to go
