Everything feels familiar
The way I give too much of myself
I hold you like I wish you would hold me
I kiss you like it’s good for my health

Am I pre-programmed [C/B]to live for somebody else?
I’m always standing at attention in the event that you might need my help

It’s all the same
Just different games
Like a moth to the flame
I have myself to blame

I jump in feet first like I for[C/B]get that I just keep getting hurt
I think you’re coming to save me, so I grab your hand
You pull me out of the tarpit and into the quicksand

When will I learn how to [C/B]discern who’s on my side?
Who’s just along for the ride

It’s all the same
Just different games
Like a moth to the flame
I have myself to blame

It’s all the same
Just different games
Like a moth to the flame
I have myself to blame

I’ve been [C/B]waking up too late
I keep [C/B]making the same mistakes

It’s all the same
Just different games
Like a moth to the flame
I have myself to blame

It’s all the same
Just different games
Like a moth to the flame
I have myself to blame

It’s all the same
Just different games

It’s all the same
Just different games

Take your watch from my wrist
Your ring from my finger
Your name from my lips

Take me to the West Coast
‘Cause I need to know if I still exist

I’d like to say that I knew
But I don’t think that’s true
I was blind for you
Deaf and dumb and black and blue

Oooh
Oooh

I remember New York fondly enough
If I refuse
To look at myself
Pathetic and comfortable in the abuse

Take the wind from my sails
The beat from my chest
The heart from my songs

Take the life from my eyes
I won’t realise that something is wrong

I’d like to think that he knew
But he seemed so confused
Maybe out of the blue
But I did what I had to do

Oooh
Oooh

I wake up alone
I wanna get stoned
And stare at a screen
But I crawl out of bed
Focus on getting myself clean

Take a comb to my hair
A moment to stare
The mirror so strange

Take a shower at least
Rinse and repeat
Like something will change

I am afraid
But what’s new?
There’s a lot to undo
But I have nothing to lose
Somehow I will make it through

Oooh
Oooh

I am fine, I promise
But I still don’t know what to say
My voice is okay, yeah I lost some weight
But I think that it’s strange
To comment on anything that I can’t change

Manners are lost on me
I find it exhaustingly pointless to be so polite
I’d rather just fight
Get it out of your system
So we can move on
I can take it I’m strong

Birthdays are bogus
Yeah I hardly notice
Another year comes to an end
I don’t know my friends and my family’s only my mother’s
She lets me know about all of the others

And I’m sorry I don’t know the days of the week
Let alone when you came to the world so to speak
My truth, I care about you, just not on a day I’m especially s’posed to

But you are better than this
You are better than this

I’ve been tired
I’ve been boring
Another sign you’re ignoring
And it’s been so long
Since I wrote a song

‘Cause you are better than this
You are better than this

I was cold
I was angry
Now I’m gone you should thank me
But I hear it in your voice
It’s like you don’t have a choice

But you are better than this
You are better than this
You are better than this
You are better than this

well the way you pull the fuzzys from my sweater
doesn’t make up for the times you let me sink into the floor
and the lies you told to make me feel all better
they didn’t work so please don’t tell me anymore
i’m waking up to see the sun
it’s a light that lets me know a new day’s begun
and i can leave behind
the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
tell me this, why do you run away
just when i decided to say something true for once
you should try it, just say what you mean
cause i can read the lines let alone in between
i’m waking up to see the sun
it’s a light that lets me know a new day’s begun
and i can leave behind
the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah x2
and i know my mellow tones can be misleading
but i’ve just put my anger to good use
you see i’ve given up on begging and pleading
every scratch on this guitar is because of you
i’m waking up to see the sun
it’s a light that lets me know a new day’s begun
and i can leave behind
the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
i’m waking up to see the sun
it’s a light that lets me know a new day’s begun
and i can leave behind
the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah pah x2
