Pa**enger - The Wrong Direction lyrics

When I was a kid, the things I did Were hidden under the grid Young and naive, I never believed That love could be so well hid With regret, I'm willing to bet And say the older you get It gets harder to forgive And harder to forget It gets under your shirt Like a dagger at work The first cut is the deepest But the rest still flipping hurt You build your heart of plastic Get cynical and sarcastic And end up in the corner on your own 'Cause I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no So what's the point in getting your hopes up When all you're ever getting is choked up? When you're coked up And can't remember the reason why you broke up? You call her in the morning When you're coming down and falling Like an old man on the side of the road 'Cause when you're apart you don't want to mingle When you're together you wanna be single Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss That made your heart tingle How much greener the gra** is With those rose tinted gla**es But the bu*terflies, they flutter by and leave us on our arses 'Cause I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection 'Cause all I wanna do is try to make a connection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh oh Oh, I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction I'd love to feel loved but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection And I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh oh It seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh oh Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction, oh oh Well it seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no Seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh
