La dirección equivocada

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



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



 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 single
Ever 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 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
Because all I want to do is try to make a connection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh...
