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
And 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 flipping hurt
You build your heart of plastic
Get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
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
And 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 flipping hurt
You build your heart of plastic
Get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
Because I'd 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 close but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh no
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 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 of the road
Because when you're apart you don't want to mingle
When you're together you want to be singleEver the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
That made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is
With those rose tinted glasses
But the butterflies they flutter by
And leave us on our arses
Because I'd love to feel love
But I can't stand the rejectionI 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
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
Because all I want to do is try to make a connection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh...
