Brightside Lyrics

How I tried, But I can't lie

I reached out to god but my phone doesn't do long distance

And I find, as time passed by

That I lost myself and I'm all out of self forgiveness

It's getting cold, It's like my old values are gone

Used to hold my breath

But now I can't stand the thought

Of being Mr. Brightside

Rather you turn me down

Cause I can't see clear through what's hollow

This oxytocin's got me hypnotized

No I cant shut em' down

These pills got too hard to swallow

I've tried a million times

But in my wrongs I still think that I

Need someone else to blame

Hind-sights been all too loud

it took too long to figure out that

I'm overdue for change

It's getting cold, It's like my old values are gone

Used to hold my breath

But now I can't stand the thought

Of being Mr. Brightside

Rather you turn me down

Cause I can't see clear through what's hollow

This oxytocin's got me hypnotized

No I cant shut em' down

These pills got too hard to swallow
