It don't mean jack
The words that you say to me
Don't mean jack
They're never what I think they mean
They don't mean jack
I know you're not lying to me
Don't mean jack
But I can't put 'em outta my mind

I know your heart is true
And you just do what ya gotta do
But when I'm starving for any sign
I take meaningless words and make 'em mine
When you look at me with nothing in your eyes
I always wonder if there's more inside
Some hook to keep you into me
Some reason that I shouldn't be free

My heart reaches out to you
I don't want that and neither do you
One fan... among the many you've got
I'm not competing, but how can I not
My heart reaches out to you
Even though I tell it not to
But how can I... contain it with my mind
When it knows it's stronger

Can I still take it
How long will I make it
When will it change
Should I start expecting the pain

It don't mean jack
When I feel your arms surrounding me
Don't mean jack
And your kisses seep into me
They don't mean jack
Not an easy thing to get used to
Don't mean jack
To feel distance without pain

I'm hoping for something more
You might be too, but I can't be sure
All I know is that you're not mine
And you remind me all of the time
If I take this for what it's worth
And not expect some romantic burst
I'll enjoy what we've got today
Or maybe it'll all dissolve away

My heart reaches out to you
I don't want that and neither do you
One fan... among the many you've got
I'm not competing, but how can I not
My heart reaches out to you
Even though I tell it not to
But how can I... contain it with my mind
When it knows it's stronger

Can I still take it
How long will I make it
When will it change
Should I start expecting the pain
