Seventeen was the last time that I recognized myself I've spent three years in a costume Pretending to be someone else And I wonder why no one ever calls Coz I never tried All my bridges burned right before my eyes Now I lie facedown At the 9-5 and realize Every time you told me you were fine You just lied Oh If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying I'm never gonna be alright But I'm trying I ran away to the city but, I'm hiding I left my love for a Sweet View, darlin If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying I'm never gonna be alright But I'm trying I ran away to the city but, I'm hiding I left my love for a Sweet View, darlin Well, lately I've been losing sleep Out on this balcony This city looks so sweet When no one's looking down at me Well I met God but, he didn't feel mine So I killed him And now your whole life's a lie Don't get fizzed with a nihilist Unless you wanna open your eyes We dream of something higher That claims to know our name An innocent desire That without, we'd live in vain Yeah If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying I'm never gonna be alright But I'm trying So many people tell me things that I don't wanna hear I tend to look at the bottle and it just disappears If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying I'm never gonna be alright But I'm trying I ran away to the city but, I'm hiding I fell in love with a Sweet View, Darlin If I said I've moved on, I'd be lying I'm never gonna be alright But I'm trying So many people tell me things that I don't wanna hear
