SENTIMENTAL
You seem to be confused
By the rows of eyes and smiles
By the way the lines are read
And the shuffling intent
And even when you speak
It’s never quite the voice
That’s scripted into tone
That you take when you’re alone
A sentimental heart is too new
You’ve got all these dreams it wouldn’t protect you through
And now all your old shit seems so naive
Cause you’ve changed the way you feel
Changed the way you feel
You’ve weeded through your friends
Who won’t stop when you’re down
Who leave you to amends
Who leave you to yourself
To take back everything you said
And everything it meant
Your opinion is your death
Or embarrassment at best
And it’s all that you can do to relate
As Gretchen says she doesn’t believe in fate
Cause the sounds are strange but all resound the same
As the thoughts inside your head
And I wish I was drunk to sing this
I’d be happy to beg for forgiveness
Though I know I did nothing wrong
And I’d give up seeing tomorrow
It’s so selfish to want your sorrow
For peace before I die
Peace before I die
We’re all alone, we take our chances
And fake our stances
To will ourselves to what we want
What we are…
And a sentimental heart is too new
You’ve got all these dreams it wouldn’t protect you through
And now all your old shit seems so naïve
Cause you’ve changed the way you feel
You’ve got to change the way you feel
