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'd prefered it

That whenever you come clean

I say nothing at all

So what?

You'd left

Before I had a single chance to second-guess

These bittersweet diversions

And late night excursions

Secret perversions

Well, maybe I'm naive,

'Cause I can't believe this

And now you fill my heart with doubt

You've turned me inside out

But I'm not jaded

And still, with all this overkill

And bitterness instilled

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 burned me

You shocked me

You threw me

You lost me

Well, maybe I'm naive

But I'm catching on fast

And how could I have been so proud?

You've turned me inside out

But I'm not jaded

And still, with all this overkill

And bitterness instilled

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 heard me

I shouted

I'd never allow it

'Cause maybe I'm naive

But I'm not ******* stupid

And still, with all this overkill

And bitterness instilled

My heart's left unfulfilled

But I'm not jaded
