Nothing Is Ever What It Seems Lyrics by Midtown

Forget What You Know

2004

[Verse 1]
Tear it back, tear it slow
Lose yourself, lose control
Listen close, there's some things you need to hear
If just this once
[Chorus]
Every day the same joke
I never think it's funny
Nothing's ever what it seems
The truth becomes a dream
And we reach for what we're missing in ourselves
[Verse 2]
Tear it back, tear it slow
Lose yourself, lose control
Listen close, there's some things you need to hear
If just this once
[Chorus]
Every day the same joke
I never think it's funny
Nothing's ever what it seems
The truth becomes a dream
And we reach for what we're missing in ourselves, selves
[Bridge]
I fought away this desperation
I've made attempts to quell temptation
I swear to god I tried
We could never compromise
You could never change me
(You could never change me)
'Cause we reach for what we're missing in ourselves
[Chorus]
Every day the same joke
I never think it's funny
(In ourselves)
Nothing's ever what it seems
The truth becomes a dream
And we reach for what we're missing in
We don't know how to let love in
And don't you cry for me
'Cause I'm already dead, yeah
