lyrics

i saw this girl i used to know at the bar putting on her charm
with some other dude i know - wrapped up tight in his arms
she's holding him tight - as tight as can be
but the whole time she's looking at me
and i can't help but look back but don't wanna give the wrong impression
we stopped talking for a reason - no question
i'm way over it - i should walk away
before any more trouble starts coming my way
it would be nice if i could leave the house
without some skeletons from my closet creeping out
but this town's too small and i've made a lot of mistakes
on that desperate chase for the strangest of tastes
people trippin' - looking for the perfect mate
steady keeping fresh meat on their bedroom plate
always the victim - they're never to blame
romance issues - grab a tissue - hearts they all break the same

how many licks does it take - how many licks does it take
to get to the center of your conscious
how many smiles can you fake - how many smiles can you fake
before looking in the mirror gets nauseous
how many licks does it take - how many licks does it take
to get to the center of your conscious
how many smiles can you fake - how hearts can you break
before looking in the mirror gets nauseous

i still wonder sometimes if it was ever true
that a tiny little me was growing inside of you
i thought it was a secret - kept my mouth shut for years
but apparently you opened yours to somebody’s ears
cuz it got back to mine - it got back to mine
sikes was gunna be a daddy - yeah i heard it through the grapevine
it still sends shivers down my spine
every time i see you with my friends and cant say hi
like how do i approach you - what do i say
thats some really thick ice to break
i got a feeling everything is okay
water under the bridge but shit like that don't float away
our lives could have been a whole lot different
better or worse - theres no need for the logistics
what’s done is done - had to pull that plug
took whatever could have been and swept it underneath your rug

i have never felt so cold
ever since i shook hands with that dark side of my soul
running away but always heading for a storm
can't pass a raincloud without knocking on its door

it's a sick sad world

i saw this girl i used to know at the bar putting on her charm
with some other dude i know - wrapped up tight in his arms
she's holding him tight - as tight as can be
but the whole time she's looking at me
and i can’t help but look back
no i can't help but look back
at my sick sad world
