Song lyrics

Send "Acoustic #3" ringtones to your cell

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screamin'
You're not listening anyway

Send "Acoustic #3" ringtones to your cell

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal the googoo dolls in general are pretty awesome; but i have to say this song is really perticularly pretty, in a sad way. it's like finally realizing things aren't like everyone told you. maybe people told you those things to make everything seem a little brighter, but sooner or later the truth had to come out. at least that's my interpitation (i think i totally butchered that word ) on another bit here.. i'm from michigan..anyone else? and does anyone know the next time they play here? i think i'm out

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal The Goo Goo Dolls are amazing! This is my favorite song. "What a scene," "Name," "Iris," "Broadway," "Dizzy," "Sympathy," and "Hate This Place" are also incredible.

54 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Does anyone realise how easy this song is for a solo guitar?! I'm not much good but i got the tabs and I recon just about anyone could play this song. So that just makes it even BETTER! hehehe. But anyways, this is a really sad song but incredibly awesome. Goo goo dolls have such a good way of making the most simple things sound beautiful!
