From the 2008 album Floating Bridge

lyrics

You cry all the time but it don't hurt me
I know that it should
But I just dry your eyes
I don't mean to be insensitive
But you break down so much
That it's become so ordinary

You know as well as I do
We've been treading water
Like we've done this whole time
I really wish that I could hold you
And feel that you were trying
I guess I'm just too ordinary

I've never been what you wanted
I've never been what you want
But I'm something

You deserve things I can't give you
But you dislike yourself so much
You'll never realize
You are worth the time and effort
But you never look inside yourself
And that's become so ordinary
