Sometymes Why - Shell Game lyrics

We were all formed in the same oven
Though none of us turned out the same
But you know me better than I'd like
And we all know you by your other name

It was easy to stand by you
Even with the bitter taste
So years have passed
Now I recall the funny fears behind my face

My head against your chest
So I can hear the sea
That's how empty your heart
Always seemed to me but how far could I fall
In a room so small

Surrounded by that green carpet
Down in that green room
What really happened there
That made you leave us all so soon

What made her hold the candle
And down the stairs descend
And did we really miss you
Or did we just pretend

With 30 candles burning we can't go to black
But we can hide our feelings just the same
And I don't want to play the shell game

My head against your chest
So I can hear the sea
But we can hide our feelings just the same
And I don't want to play the shell game
