Old Ways

It was fun playin' with knives

Until a blade

Stuck in the left side of my chest

Surprise

I'm not down again, I turned the page

This story's mine

No more watchin' the world from my doorstep

Passin' me by (passin' me by)

And I just keep changin'

These colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place

That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me

I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say: No way

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearin' them all say

I'll go back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

(Not goin' back to my old ways)

Now I know what's good for me

All that I need

And I can't wait to sink my teeth in

And take another bite

And the best part about it

Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it

I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin'

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold

And I just keep changin'

These colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place

That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me

I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say: No way

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearin' them all say

I'll go back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

(Not goin' back to my old ways)

Every scar

The flames burnt them all

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm spiraling, I'm spiraling

Past the stars

I'm not burning out

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm not afraid anymore

And I just keep changin' my colors

I'm not in the same place that I was, I was

(And the best part about it)

(Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it)

(I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin')

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold

And I just keep changin'

These colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place

That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me

I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say: No way

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearin' them all say

I'll go back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways
