It’s always different when it’s someone else
At least that’s what you tell yourself
His shortcomings
You just cast them aside
Must be nice to sleep right through the night
The way he mistreats you the way he misleads you
Can’t take your own advice must be nice
She’ll come to you with tears in her eyes
And you can’t see straight cuz you’re been crying too it’s nothing new it’s nothing new
Hard as they try they can’t break through we’ve got thick skin and it’s patched up new no one can get inside, All your tears will dry
wishing you could run away from yourself
rid the world of all your guilt
You see the devil in his smile
But you always turn a blind eye
It’s never easy being the good guy
Your shortcomings
They don’t mean you’re nothing
We all make mistakes
She’ll come to you with tears in her eyes
And you can’t see straight cuz you’re been crying too it’s nothing new it’s nothing new
Hard as they try they can’t break through we’ve got thick skin and it’s patched up new no one can get inside, All your tears will dry you don’t need to hide anymore
Why do we only see the good?
Understand the misunderstood?
Defend the ones who hurt us most.
Hold our demons way too close.
We’ve got to let them go.
You’ve got to let him go.
