lyrics

I am inside, I am a lie
I don’t know why you brought me here
I am alive, I’ll be alright
I don’t know why you want me

I keep thinkin’ ‘bout the wrong things
like holdin’ hands on Broad Street
got caught up in your heart strings
now every time my heart beats
I hate the way you make it feel like it was all my fault
and I hate the way you make me feel like I’m dead and gone

I know how hard it is to find one who can handle this day
In this age
‘cause our hearts are in the wrong place

Breathing in time in the daylight
I don’t know what I’ve got to fear
Look in my eyes, tell me you’ll try
Don’t you miss the way it used to be?

Like how you talk so softly
just walk and stop my heartbeat
Locked up, and you unlocked me
So lost, but you un-lost me
I hate the way you make me feel like it was all my fault
and I hate the way you make me feel like I’m dead and gone
