lyrics

the wrong direction

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 flipping hurt ,
you build your heart of plastic ,
get synical and sarcastic ,
and end up in the corner on you're 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 ,

so 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 call her in the morning ,
when you're coming down and falling like an old man on the side of the road ,
cos when you're apart you don't want to mingle ,
when you're together you want to be single ,
ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss ,
that made your heart tingle ,
how much greener the grass is ,
with those rose tinted glasses ,
but the butterflies they flutter by and leave us on our arses ,

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 ,
there's fish in the sea for me to make a selection ,
i'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection ,
cos all i want to do is try to make a connection ,
it seems i've been running in the wrong direction oh ,

oh 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 ,
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 ohh ,
it seems like i'm running in the wrong direction ohh ,
seems like i'm running in the wrong direction ohh ,
well it seems i've been running in the wrong direction oh no,
seems i've been running in the wrong direction,
