[Verse 1]
Maybe he thinks the ordinary's cruel
Modern methods overthrow the rules
I am still the one to play the fool
[Chorus]
Even after everybody said to cover your ears and keep moving
Don't invite another chance to fall through
How lonely I was seduced by the prospect of a change, of a promise like you
[Verse 2]
Maybe he always tells you he's okay
Modern methods dig an early grave
I may never learn to walk away
[Chorus]
Even after everybody said to cover your ears and keep moving
Don't invite another chance to fall through
How lonely I was seduced by the prospect of a change, of a promise
[Verse 3]
I believed it because that's what I wanted
Now my hands are shaking
And my heart is trying hard to replace it
So I go where I wanted
City streets just to keep me
Just to keep me here
