My friends become my foes

And my foes become my friends

I tend to fall in love with the girls

My boyfriend ends

I don't work 9 to 5

But i'll always work the weekends

And each time i'll get the world

In my fingers something happens

I'm working backwards, forwards

And left to right

And i'm pretty darn hard headed

But i can't make up my mind

I'll take a tragedy over a fairytale

But only when the sun is shining

I'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hour

I'm an expert in the silver lining

I'll be there when you need me

For all the big things

But i'm really pathetic at perfect timing

And that's the way it seems to go for me

I go to bed at 8 and wake up at 4.30

Most day i drink like a fish and tend to be too flirty

I am a perfectionist but only when things get dirty

I cannot stand small talk but i'm great at being wordy

And i'd rather leave you first

But then i'll be begging you to come back

And when i get real quiet

You know i'm about to attack

I'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the dark

But only when everyone's celebrating

I'll dig in to your pain and tear it apart

But only to help the heart that's breaking

I like to figure things out and make everything right

But i'm secretly thrilled when everything's changing

And that's the way it seems to go for me

If you fall for the part that's brooding and dark

You will never discover the rest of my heart

And i want you to see that there's so much to see

Just before i declare you never knew me

He's with the small stuff like the world around was over

I calm him down and we make breakfast for each other

Our friends all thought we fit so perfectly together

He likes what he can't have and i sure like bad weather

I may have left him first

But i think he'd been leaving for sometime

I feel like begging him to come back

But i can't make up my mind

I'll take a boxing match over the quiet night

But only to make for better dreams

I'll back the underdog in any fight

But only to fight for something worth keeping

I'm in it to win it, most of the time

And if it goes down i'll be kicking and screaming

And that's the way it seems to go for me

Yeah, and that's the way it seems to go for me

Whoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me
