Can't they tell

And I'm no saint, no fairy, no superman./ I was stranded when I needed someone, anyone,/ That's why I try to help whenever I can./ But sometimes I only end up getting in trouble,/ Stuck between people with tense relationships,/ Tired of walking on such a fine thread, can't they tell?

Verse 1

Sometimes I get tired of keeping everybody's secrets,

Tired of hiding things from people I hold close to my chest.

Sometimes I get tired of being the one everybody turns to,

When at that very moment my heart is breaking, they don't have a clue.

Chorus

I'm no saint, no fairy, no superman.

I was stranded when I needed someone, anyone,

That's why I try to help whenever I can.

But sometimes I only end up getting in trouble,

Stuck between people with tense relationships,

Tired of walking on such a fine thread, can't they tell?

Verse 2

Sometimes it's hard to be strong for them and to smile,

When everything in my own life is messed up meanwhile.

Who do I turn to when I need a shoulder to collapse on?

I know my friends can feel like this too, my urge to bother them is long gone.

Chorus

And I'm no saint, no fairy, no superman.

I was stranded when I needed someone, anyone,

That's why I try to help whenever I can.

But sometimes I only end up getting in trouble,

Stuck between people with tense relationships,

Tired of walking on such a fine thread, can't they tell?

Bridge

Everyone's too busy with their own lives to be disturbed.

Some days are hard like this, but when I remember

Those nights and those rude replies,

All those times tears welled in my eyes,

And being alone made every problem seem worse, surviving impossible.

I was breaking down, wondering, can't they tell?

And I'm not gonna be one of them, my life can wait.

But I won't let anyone else suffer my fate.

End Chorus

I'm no saint, no fairy, no superman.

I was stranded when I needed someone, anyone,

That's why I try to help whenever I can.

But sometimes I only end up getting in trouble,

Stuck between people with tense relationships,

Tired of walking on such a fine thread, glad they can't tell.

Cause I'm not gonna be one of them, my life can wait.

But I won't let anyone else suffer my fate.

I don't want them to stand alone like me and yell,

I'm breaking down, can't they tell?

I'm breaking down, can't they tell?

I'm breaking down, can't they tell?

I was breaking down, they couldn't tell.
