the way I see the world Lyrics

20 years gone by

Reverberating in my mind

Funny how things changed

But everything still feels the same

And you still change the storyline every time

But you can keep your sorry

Excuses for why it happened again

So you get drunk to go numb

Everyone, you said, has their demons

So I twist the knife in to feel something

You told me to love is to get hurt

I'd be better to avoid it

Now that's the way I see the world

On the car ride home

You turn off the radio

As if I were grown

You told me things I shouldn't know

And you still say you're sorry

I know you're not

If you could make me believe you

At all for once, I'd sleep at night

So I get drunk to have fun

Everyone my age acts this way

I get high to feel lighter than I was

You told me to trust is to get burned

I'd be better to avoid it

So that's the way I see the world

Like an echo ricocheting

I can feel you, hear you, saying"It was all just an accident, didn't mean it to happen like this"

I act out these learned behaviors

Let your demons be my savior

Reflections in a broken mirror

Shattered every one of them

Don't want your blood on my hands

'Cause you

Got drunk to go numb, you gave up

Couldn't keep away your demons

Twisted the knife in to feel something

You wanted to be loved, not to get hurt

That's why you always avoid it

'Cause that's the way you see the world

So you got drunk to go numb

Everyone, you said, has their demons

Twisted the knife in to feel something

I wanted to be loved, not to get hurt

That's why I always avoid it

'Cause that's the way I see the world

That's the way

Get drunk to go numb
