Alarm

I wake up then go to sleep
For another hour or two
It seems to be my morning routine
I can't decide what to do
And his music doesn't sound like him
But neither does mine
I like to play this game of pretend
Rain hides the tears in the gas station line

I know that my friends back home
Don't really care where I am
But they'd be shocked to know alone
I'm falling in love with a man, but
He's anything I've ever wanted
He's got everything except he's caught in
The paradigm, deer in the headlights
I messed up the pickup line

You're taller and you're cooler
Than I'll ever be
You could take a ruler and you would see
You're nicer and you're more fit
Than I'll ever be
I resent you just a little bit
'Cause you sing so perfectly

And it's no cause for alarm,
But you don't know you are
I know it's hard sometimes
To find out that you're mind's been misaligned
You're told to define your life by lies

I don't really want to call you mean
But it's been going on too long
I wish you could hear all that I see
You need to know that you belong, you're

Anything you've ever wanted
You've got everything except you're caught in
The paradigm, you've been traumatized
I gaze right through your lying eyes

You're thoughtful and you're more wise
Than I'll ever be
And I wish you could just realize
How much you mean to me
You're smarter and you're braver
Than I'll ever be
But I'm doing you a favor
Saying this one thing

And it's no cause for alarm
But you don't know you are
I know it's hard sometimes
To find out that you're mind's been misaligned
You're told to define your life by lies
