Imaginary Conversations

Imaginary conversations
Don't do know one no good
Negativity replaying
Weaving a trap for some that could
Turn it over, or blow right through
Give it meaning for something new
And all the difference it might do
For what it could

Imaginary conversations
Going around and around and around
Repeating on the same old story
Getting me down, down, down
Just creating a vicious loop
From the smallest fraction
Of what might be true
Take no action what will it do?
How can I pluck it out?

Cause I just wanna scream
Oh! I'm just letting you know,
I don't know how to make it through
And I just wanna scream!

Imaginary conversations
'bout how I just ain't good enough
I still hear your voices saying
"Boy, you just ain't got the stuff."
But I don't mean it
And now I know
You didn't say it
Just like so
But if you knew where it all might go
Might you just bite your tongue

Cause I just gotta scream
Oh-- I'm just letting you know
I don't know how to forgive you, Ooo

And I just gotta scream
Oh-- I'm just letting you know
I don't know how to make it through, Ooo

"Cause you act so big and tough
But your only way up
Is by putting others down and out."
"You're so quick to criticize
But where do you hide
Behind the pity of your self-doubt."
"Well I've played that game,
And called it tough-love to feel a better way about it
But one day that mistake, you'll be watching a soul fade
And finding the escape out."

And I just wanna scream

Oh-- I'm just letting you know
I don't know how to make it through, Ooo
