When I was a kid, the things I did we’re hidden unto 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 get’s under you’re shirt like a dagger at work

The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin’ hurt

You build you’re heart of plastic, you’re cynical and sarcastic

And end up in the corner on you’re 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 you’re hopes up

If all you’re getting is choked up

When you’re coked up and can’t remember the reason why I 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

But when you’re together you wanna be single

Ever the chase to taste to the kiss of bliss that made you’re heart tingle

How much greener the grass is with you’re rose tinted glasses

But the butterflies 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.

Theres 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 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 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.

It seems like i'm running in the wrong direction oh.

And It seems i’ve been running in the wrong direction oh oh.

It seems i’ve been running in the wrong direction oh.
