Album: Stranded In Suburbia

Jaded

These things I say
Come spinning out of my mouth
Like they’ve lost their way
And there’s no doubt about it
You heard me
I shouted
I think you preferred it
That whenever you come clean
I say nothing at all

So what
You left
Before I had a single chance
To second guess
These bittersweet diversions
And late night excursions
Secret perversions

Maybe I’m naive
Because I can’t believe this
And now you fill my heart with doubt
You turn me inside out
But I’m not jaded

And still with all this overkill
And bitterness, and still
My heart’s left unfulfilled
But I’m not jaded

My life complete with minor twists and turns
And just a small defeat
You know you really got me
You burn me
You shock me
You thrill me
You lost me
Well maybe I’m naive but I’m catching on fast

And how could I have been so proud
You turned me inside out
But I’m not jaded

And still with all this overkill
And bitterness, and still
My heart’s left unfulfilled
But I’m not jaded

You came around
Your hands did all the talking as you sat me down
for a bittersweet reminder
You hurt me
I shouted
I never allow it
Cause maybe I’m naive but I’m not fucking stupid

And still with all this overkill
And bitterness, and still
My heart’s left unfulfilled
But I’m not jaded (X2)
