Jaded

Truth of the matter is

We're all the same

Wounded and naked

In this survival game

Pools of sharks, pits of snakes

And dating applications

Then I saw your face

Wanted to break your defences

You got hurt

So now you're scared

I get it, I get it

It's a jungle out there

But what goes around comes around

At some point in the tale

We're the villain

This is the tragedy of nature

You like the title

Fancy the cover

You dig the writer

Take a look at the book

We'll write our story

With detours and metaphors

I'm in no hurry to end

A ride I enjoy

When there's one chapter that you hate

You don't go burning the whole book

Don't be jaded

I know what it feels like

To be the prey

They feed on your blood

Then whine about the taste

But it takes a birdbrain to think

I'm not gonna aim

For the jugular

Heaven knows it's just my nature

Big as the ocean

Old as the Bible

Written in the stars

But not set in stone

We'll write our story

With detours and metaphors

I'm in no hurry to end

A ride I enjoy

When you don't like one chapter

You don't go burning the whole book

Don't be jaded

Don't be jaded

Truth of the matter is

We're all insane

Doing all the same things

And hoping for a change

Truth of the matter is

We're all insane

Doing all the same things

And hoping for a change

I'll take yours

Maybe this time

Then you'll take mine

I'll take yours

Maybe this time

Then you'll take mine

I'll take yours

Maybe this time

Then you'll take mine

I'll take yours

Maybe this time

Then you'll take mine
