When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid
Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid
With regret I'm willing to bet they say the older you get
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic
And you end up in the corner on your own
* 'Cos 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, oh no
What's the point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is choked up?
When you're coked up, and can't remember the reason why you broke up
You'll call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling
Like an old man on the side of the road
When you're apart, you don't wanna mingle
When you're together you wanna be single
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is Through those rose tinted glasses
And the butterflies that flutter by and leave us on our arses
