The World I Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This could be my last chance to let it all out
Ten years up and down, now I'm riddled with doubt
I've said a lot of things but through somebody else
A puppet on my strings, yeah then he wanted out
Sometimes I wanna feel like someone else
Instead of looking back to try and block it all out
You know when the lights go down
It isn't always black and white
You don't know what goes through my mind
So tell me what you're thinking
And show me how you're feeling
You know it's harder in the morning
When I lose myself so late at night
Yeah, maybe come tomorrow
I won't wallow in my sorrow
Light up a match and let it all go
Burn away the world I know
The world I know
I'm living in a house with no windows and doors
Where every day's the same, yeah now I'm getting bored
Of listening to the same thing, don't say anymore
It isn't up to me to fix what you have caused
I know you wanna feel like you're in love
Thought you gave 'em everything but they don't trust ya
It's hard, at times too much
To sleep where you don't like to lie
Is it always weighing on your mind?
So tell me what you're thinking
(Tell me what you're thinking)
And show me how you're feeling
(Show me how you're feeling)
You know it's harder in the morning
When you lose yourself so late at night
Yeah, maybe come tomorrow
You won't wallow in your sorrow
Light up the match and let it all go
Burn away the world you know
The world you know
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ooh-ooh
'Cause I just wanna be like everyone else
Instead of looking back to try and block it all out
You know when the lights go down
It isn't always black and white
You don't know what is on my mind
So tell me what you're thinking
(Tell me what you're thinking)
And show me how you're feeling
(Show me how you're feeling)
You know it's harder in the morning
When I lose myself so late at night
Yeah, maybe come tomorrow
I won't wallow in my sorrow
Light up a match and let it all go
Burn away the world I know
The world I know
