Intro
Verse 1
Wake up in bed screaming so silently
Punch out the walls of insecurity
Make up instead and say that I'll be fine
I spread these kinds of rumors all the time
My barricade is like a prison fence
The way I'm feeling when I smile: "They really make no sense"
Lights in my room just like a starry night
And that's the way that it goes,
that's just the way that it goes
Chorus
When there's nobody around you,
no one to profound you
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself
I see no friends, only strangers
that don't know my danger
Verse 2
I drink my coffee from a paper cup
It doesn't keep my hands warm enough
Making some plans so I have something to break
Looking alive so I have something to fake
There's no protection when the demons come
I hear the screaming pound on my eardrums
This house is haunted now that nobody knows
That's just way that it goes
that's just the way that it goes
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Tell me that this is a dream
Give me the weightlessness I need
I'm floating around this room now
Escaping the memory stampede
I think I can see my mother
Living without her's made me weak
I'm fighting a losing battle
I am a game of hide and seek
[CHORUS X 2]
Outro
(That's just the way that it goes, oh...)
