Lyrics

Well it’s a strange life
if you do it right.
But if you do it fine,
yeah you’ll just fall into
the motions backwards.
That’s a lot to swallow,
a lot to muscle out.
Oh this might sting,
but I wanna say it that way.

Can’t you let me say it that way?
“Uhh, no!”

Well it’s a strange sight
that I found.
When you’re at the plate,
you won’t swing for the fences with me.
Now my friends
don’t look at me anymore.
Oh this might sting,
but I wanna say it.
This might sting,
but I wanna say it.

And your cold tone:
It won’t change on account of me.
And your cold tone:
It won’t change on account of knowin’ me.

Now it’s a ghost town
where I’m from,
when you’re gone.
I’m getting lost in the front row
at your show.
God I'm feeling awful.
You kinda gave a side eye when we talked, so
don’t worry, I'm going back home.
I’m sayin’ too much.
I'm sick of this stuff.
I’m sorry if
I’m coming off like
“Oh I wish you well.
Nice to know you, go to hell.”

But don’t change.
Don’t change on account of me.
I said don’t change.
Don’t change on account of knowin’ me.
