Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can just hear them now

"How could you let us down?"

But they don't know what I found

Or see it from this way around

Feeling it overtake

All that I used to hate

One by one, every trait

I tried, but it's way too late

All the signs I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

Will I be in too deep?

Goin' with what I always longed for

[Verse 2]

Feel like a brand new person (But you'll make the same old mistakes)

Well, I don't care, I'm in love (Stop before it's too late, I know)

Feel like a brand new person (But you'll make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what it's like (You don't have what it takes)

Stop before it's too late

I know there's too much at stake

Making the same mistakes (And I still don't know why it's happening)

Stop while it's not too late (And I still don't know)

[Verse 3]

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

The point is, I have the right

Not thinkin' in black and white

I'm thinkin' it's worth the fight

Soon to be out of sight

Knowing it all this time

Goin' with what I always longed for

[Verse 4]

Feel like a brand new person (But you'll make the same old mistakes)

Well, I don't care, I'm in love (Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person (But you'll make the same old mistakes)

So how do I know I've gone too far? (You don't have what it takes)

Stop before it's too late

[Verse 5]

Man, I know that it's hard to digest

But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

Man, I know that it's hard to digest

A realization is as good as a guess

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

[Verse 6]

Feel like a brand new person

So how will I know that it's right?

In a new direction

So how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking that the only option was

[Verse 7]

Feel like a brand new person

I finally know what it's like

Stop thinking that the only option was

In a new direction

So how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking that the only option was

[Verse 8]

And I know it's hard to describe

Stop thinking that the only option was

So how will I know that it's right?
