Intro

Verse 1

Wake up in bed screaming so silently

Punch out the walls of insecurity

Make up instead and say that I'll be fine

I spread these kinds of rumors all the time

My barricade is like a prison fence

The way I'm feeling when I smile: "They really make no sense"

Lights in my room just like a starry night

And that's the way that it goes,

that's just the way that it goes

Chorus

When there's nobody around you,

no one to profound you

Just leave me alone,

don't leave me by myself

I see no friends, only strangers

that don't know my danger

Verse 2

I drink my coffee from a paper cup

It doesn't keep my hands warm enough

Making some plans so I have something to break

Looking alive so I have something to fake

There's no protection when the demons come

I hear the screaming pound on my eardrums

This house is haunted now that nobody knows

That's just way that it goes

that's just the way that it goes

Chorus

Solo

Bridge

Tell me that this is a dream

Give me the weightlessness I need

I'm floating around this room now

Escaping the memory stampede

I think I can see my mother

Living without her's made me weak

I'm fighting a losing battle

I am a game of hide and seek

[CHORUS X 2]

Outro

(That's just the way that it goes, oh...)
