lirik lagu my dad is dead - the big picture

she says i don’t care
but that’s not the way it is
i know it’s not
but her words are so strong
it’s hard not to believe in them

i say i don’t mind
but that’s not the way it is
i know it’s not
but my words are so small
it’s hard to hang on to them

i could spend my whole life
thinking about what’s important to me

i could spend my whole life
thinking about what matters to me

i could spend my whole life
worrying about what’s going to happen to me

i could waste my whole life
thinking about just what it is my life means

she says i don’t try
but that’s not the way it is
i know it’s not
but she can read me like a book
she’s read a hundered thousand times

i say it’s all right
but that’s not the way it is
i know it’s not
but i know in my heart
that i’m so very tired of pretending

sometimes what matters doesn’t really matter at all
sometimes it doesn’t fit inside the big picture

sometimes i need to be just where i am
sometimes i need to know that right here is good enough
