Built To Spill - Stop The Show

You don't tell me anything
It's not a dream, it's not a big lie
You're not going anywhere
You don't care, you think thats fine
You don't owe me anything
The offering is already mine
Your best friend is everywhere
They don't care, they think you're slime
You don't even know
What it means to
Take your own advice and then
Expect me to look surprised
After a while you know the style and that's enough to know they suck
And when you know to stop the show because you know they know
I know it's sad but don't feel bad, they knew they had it coming
After a while it hurts to smile and if you laugh, it's just a typical miracle
You don't tell me anything
It's not a dream, it's not a big lie
You're not going anywhere
You don't care, you think thats fine
You don't owe me anything
The offering is already mine
Your best friend is everywhere
They don't care, they think you're slime
You don't even know
What it means to
Take your own advice and then
Expect me to look surprised
After a while you know the style and that's enough to know they suck
And when you know to stop the show because you know they know
I know it's sad but don't feel bad, they knew they had it coming
After a while it hurts to smile and if you laugh, it's just a typical miracle
