Pity i'd have to blog in a sombre mood today... my grandpa passed away the night before... while i was on guard duty.

Ask

i know i know there's nothing i can do
everybody shows a side thats never true
when there's nothing in there
nothing's ever really fair

i know i know the old is nothing now
everybody talks about the things they never do
when there's nothing in there
nothing's ever really fair... for you

Ask...what u know
Ask...what u don't know
Ask...for you'll learn, then you'll know

i know i know that time is never fair
How much more abuse will the body bear
when there's nothing there
nothing's ever really fair

when there's nothing in there
oh if only you'd care... but u don't
when there's nothing in there
oh if only you'd ask....

Ask...what u know
Ask...what u don't know
Ask...for you'll learn, then you'll know
(when there's nothing there)
