The Jupiters - Yet Still

I've passed all your tests
And you know I know best
Yet still ... oh still
I'm not you
Stop ruining things so willingly
Why'd you drown, you can swim you can scream
Yet still … oh, still
I can't do it for you
Yet still you stay numb
And still you're so young
Boy, as if you're the one
Tell me why do you run
And why, lord, why do we do what we do
And why, lord, why do we do what we do
I've seen how this ends
Why, oh why, would we still pretend
Yet still … the thrill
We start again
You know all I want is to run away
If you can hear me, don't ask me to stay
I wish … I wish
I could do what you do
Yet still you stay numb
And still you're so young
Gave you time, you took none
So … I
Tell me why did you run
Tell me as if I'm dumb
And if you're ever done
Well then, will you come back
I've passed all your tests
(I've seen how this ends)
And you know I know best
(Why, oh why, would we still pretend)
Yet still ... oh still
(Yet still … the thrill)
I'm not you
(We start again)
Stop ruining things so willingly
(You know all I want is to run away)
Why'd you drown, you can swim you can scream
(If you can hear me, don't ask me to stay)
Yet still … oh, still
(I wish … I wish)
I can't do it for you
(I could do what you do)
And I've spent such fruitful time under your care
But I've come to realize you were never really there
