SWEET VIEW Lyrics

Seventeen was the last time that I recognized myself

I've spent three years in a costume

Pretending to be someone else

And I wonder why no one ever calls

Coz I never tried

All my bridges burned right before my eyes

Now I lie facedown

At the 9-5 and realize

Every time you told me you were fine

You just lied

Oh

If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying

I'm never gonna be alright

But I'm trying

I ran away to the city but, I'm hiding

I left my love for a Sweet View, darlin

If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying

I'm never gonna be alright

But I'm trying

I ran away to the city but, I'm hiding

I left my love for a Sweet View, darlin

Well, lately I've been losing sleep

Out on this balcony

This city looks so sweet

When no one's looking down at me

Well I met God but, he didn't feel mine

So I killed him

And now your whole life's a lie

Don't get fizzed with a nihilist

Unless you wanna open your eyes

We dream of something higher

That claims to know our name

An innocent desire

That without, we'd live in vain

Yeah

If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying

I'm never gonna be alright

But I'm trying

So many people tell me things that I don't wanna hear

I tend to look at the bottle and it just disappears

If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying

I'm never gonna be alright

But I'm trying

I ran away to the city but, I'm hiding

I fell in love with a Sweet View, Darlin

If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying

I'm never gonna be alright

But I'm trying

So many people tell me things that I don't wanna hear
