Heard It All

I heard a story
 It's too hard to mention
 I heard a thing once
 I can't even say
 I had a moment
 Of doubtful suspension
 But it's almost forgotten
 It's been pulled away
 By too many hands
 Touching where I stand
 And I can't fall
 Because you'll try and catch me
 Never let me go
 You don't think I know
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch my skin
 I heard a boy say
 It's all my invention
 A fictional statement
 It's all in my head
 All I can tell you
 My only pretension
 Was in thinking you listened
 To me when I said
 There's too many hands
 Touching where I stand
 And I can't fall
 Because you'll try and catch me
 Never let me go
 You don't think I know
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch me
 There's just too many hands
 Touching where I stand
 And I can't fall
 Because you'll try and catch me
 Never let me go
 You don't think I know
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch me
 I've heard your paltering and your lies
 And it won't go away when I close my eyes
 Do you think of me when I'm nowhere near?
 When you shut your mouth tell me what you hear
 I've heard it all
 I've heard it all
 I've heard it
 Somebody called me
 A paranoid angel
 From on the other
 Side of the wall
 You might be special
 But it's too late to change now
 'Cause it isn't the first time
 I've heard it all
 For too many years
 To relieve my fears
 So I'm advising you
 To get away and fast
 If it's my mistake
 Then the blame I'll take
 You're not the first
 And you won't be the last
 I've seen too many hands
 Touching where I stand
 And I can't fall
 Because you'll try and catch me
 Never let me go
 You don't think I know
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch me
 There's just too many hands
 Touching where I stand
 And I can't fall
 Because you'll try and catch me
 Never let me go
 You don't think I know
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch me
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch me
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch me
 I've heard it all
 And so you'll never scratch my skin
