Lyrics
Feeling bent by another day / With the weight of my wasted ways / Who’s to say it’s wrong when the night’s feeling long / And old habits are hard to sway? / Hey / Feeling spent is the price I pay / For the games that I love to play / Who’s to say it’s wrong / When you’re turning me on / And there’s nothing left in our way? / Hey, hey / Hey, hey hey / Ouuu… / There’s this feeling I hide / When I catch a gleam in your eyes / No, I can’t explain it. There’s no need to try / I see beauty in sorrow, and truth in disguise / Yes, my soul is my pride / I swear I’m wasting no one’s time / I just needed to hide / Just for a while / Feeling safe is no way to play / Feeling strange isn’t bad per se / You can say I’m wrong / But my head is too strong / And my heart is too proud to sway / Hey, hey, / Hey, hey, hey / Ouuu… / There’s this feeling I hide / When I catch that gleam in your eye / No, I can’t forget it. I don’t even try / I have wrapped up my sorrow in beauty’s disguise / All I have is my pride / I swear, I’m wasting no more time / I need nowhere to hide / I spoke my mind / Feeling light as I end the day / With the words I could never say / I’ll just sing my songs / Till the words come out wrong / And that’s all that I have to say
