The Wrong Direction歌词

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 and 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,get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own.
Cause I love to feel loved 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.
So what's the point in getting your hopes up
When all your ever getting is choked up
When you're coked up
and can't remember the reason why you broke up
You call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling
like an old man on the side of the road
'Cause when you're apart you don't wanna mingle
When you're together you wanna be single
Ever the chase to taste to the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is with those rose tinted glasses
And the butterflies, they flutter by and they leave us on our asses.
Cause I love to feel loved 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,
There's
fish in the sea for me to make a selection
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
Cause all I wanna do is try to make a connection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh oh

Oh oh, I'd love to feel loved 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
I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
And I thought I was close but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh oh
It seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh oh oh
It seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh oh
Well it seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh no
