The Pointlessness of It All

lyrics

I see it in your eyes
Why don't you take off that disguise?
I'm not falling for deception anymore
Although I don't know where you've been
I know you wouldn't let me in
If I was ever to show up there at the door

It doesn't matter how I try
Nothing seems to satisfy
I can tell that what you have here's not enough
For me you want to make it hard
To ask you end this sad charade
And I wonder really what am I made of?

Oh, the pointlessness of it all
Can't find a reason to keep it going any longer, no
The pointlessness of it all
I stopped believing there's any point in persevering anymore

No no no no no
No no no no no

No no no no no
No no no no no

I trace it back to the first time
You thought you'd cross a certain line
Was I dumb to let it go and start again
Perhaps that's where the rot set in
My judgement you were questioning
Had to push the boundaries every now and then

So maybe this is all my fault
'Cause I forgave the lies I caught
And who knows how many I missed in between?
Oh, without trust, why would I try?
Don't need the drama you could buy
In a cheap old photo-romance magazine

Oh, the pointlessness of it all
Can't find a reason to keep it going any longer, no
The pointlessness of it all
I stopped believing there's any point in persevering anymore

No no no no no
No no no no no
Oh oh
No no no no no
No no no no no
Oh oh
