The Competition

Tap tap
My fingertips tapping
At a subtle distraction
A nervous reaction
The tensions rise in the mind
Of the attention deprived

This competition
It caused affliction
Between us
Friendships will fall
When we don't know who we are at all
No we never knew
We thought we knew it all

Wish I could find a reason why
We try so hard
Just to make it by
And as our conflict increases
Know I won't be there
To pick up the pieces

Secrets, secrets are no fun
When your ally holds a gun
You hide behind your pride
You couldn't bite your tongue
To save your life
So run, run for cover
Take cover
There's no other way out of this one

Wish I could find a reason why
We try so hard
Just to make it by
And as our conflict increases
Know I won't be there
To pick up the pieces

Friendships will fall
When we don't know who we are
Friendships will fall
When we don't know who we are at all

Wish I could find a reason why
We try so hard
Just to make it by
And as our conflict increases
Know I won't be there
To pick up the pieces.
