|
When I was a kid, the things I did were hidden under the grid, |
|
Young and naive I never believed that love could be so well hid |
|
With regret I'm willing to bet they say the older you get |
|
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget |
|
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work |
|
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt |
|
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic |
|
And end up in the corner on your own. |
|
Cause I love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection |
|
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection |
|
I thought I was close but under further inspection |
|
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no. |
|
So what's the point in getting your hopes up |
|
When all your ever getting is choked up |
|
When you're coked up |
|
and can't remember the reason why you broke up |
|
You call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling |
|
like an old man on the side of the road |
|
'Cause when you're apart you don't wanna mingle |
|
When you're together you wanna be single |
|
Ever the chase to taste to the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle |
|
How much greener the grass is with those rose tinted glasses |
|
And the butterflies, they flutter by and they leave us on our asses. |
|
Cause I love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection |
|
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection |
|
I thought I was close but under further inspection |
|
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, |
|
There's |
|
fish in the sea for me to make a selection |
|
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection |
|
Cause all I wanna do is try to make a connection |
|
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh oh |
|
Oh oh, I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection |
|
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection |
|
I thought I was close but under further inspection |
|
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction |
|
I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection |
|
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection |
|
And I thought I was close but under further inspection |
|
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh oh |
|
It seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh oh oh |
|
It seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh oh |
|
Well it seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh no |
