Lyrics

[Verse]
They’ve been sayin’ lately
The hours I keep are strange
Bags under my eyes; avoiding the lights
Thinkin’ I would fade away

Into the background
Never to be seen again

But I’m so conceited— I wanna see them
Go living on without noticing

[Chorus]
You say you know— but you really don’t
This world is more what you think it isn’t
You tell yourself that it’s overblown
This world is so cold and twisted

[Verse]
I know how bad it gets
And just how bad it will be
I was born a pessimist
With any luck, someone will kill me

I just want the chance
To say I told you so
But I’d rather be wrong
And won’t be scared to go

[Chorus]
You say you know— but you really don’t
This world is more what you think it isn’t
You tell yourself that it’s overblown
This world is so cold and twisted

[Verse]
I feel like an excuse
To keep the both of us behind
Living out of my means
The way I own space in your mind

Value might go up in hindsight
But it’s just not worth it at all
I’ll deal with you as long as I have to
And stay away till you’ve gone

[Break]

[Chorus]
You say you know— but you really don’t
This world is more what you think it isn’t
You tell yourself that it’s overblown
This world is so cold and twisted

(It’s a cold, twisted world)
(It’s a cold, twisted world)
(It’s a cold, twisted world)
(It’s a cold, twisted world)
