When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid
Young and naive I never believed 1 love could be so well hid
With regret I'm willing to bet and say the older you get
It 2 harder to forgive and harder to forget
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at 3
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flipping hurt
You build 4 heart of plastic
Get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the 5 on your own

Cause I'd love to feel love but I can't 6 the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close but 7 further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong 8 oh no

So what's the point in getting your hopes up
When all you're ever getting is 9 up
When you're coked up
And can't remember the reason why you 10 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 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

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

Oh 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
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 ohh
It seems like I'm running in the wrong direction ohh
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction ohh
Well it seems I've been running in the wrong direction oh no
Seems I've been running in the wrong direction
