When I was a kid
The things I did were hidden under the grid
Yound and naive
I never believed that love could be so will hidden
With regret
I'm willing to bet, you say the older you get
It gets harder to forgive from harder to forget
It gets under your shirt
Like a dagger or work
The first cut is the deepest
But the rest will flipping hurt
You build your heart a plastic
Get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
'Cause I love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes
As a form of protection
I thought I was closed
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 you're 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 go the road...
'Cause when you're apart you don't to mingle
When you're together you wanna be single
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
That made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is
With those roses tinted of glasses
But the butterflies, they flutter by
And leave us on our asses...
'Cause I love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes
As a form of protection
I thought I was closed
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 want to do is try to make a connection
But it seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh oh...
Oh oh
'Cause I love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes
As a form of protection
I thought I was closed
But under further inspection
It seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
'Cause I love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes
As a form of protection
I thought I was closed
But under further inspection
It seems I've been running
In the wrong direction
Oh oh...
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction
Oh oh...
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction
Oh
Well, it seems like I'm running in the wrong direction oh no...
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction.
