Not Sad, Hopeless Lyrics

Walking a line

I try to walk a straight line

But I’m stoned

Counting the lies

I've been counting the lies

That I've told

Remember what you said

In that cold condescending tone

There’s good in everyone

I knew you just couldn't leave it alone

Tried my best but couldn't change

You said you’d love me anyways

But in a voice so soft it shouts

I could hear the doubt

As you crushed my cigarette out

Walking a line

I try to walk a straight line

But I’m stoned

Counting the lies

I've been counting the lies

That I've told

Repeating what you said

And I tried so hard not to laugh

You barricaded the front door

And I escaped out the back

Tried my best but couldn't change

You said you’d love me anyways

But in a voice so soft it shouts

I could hear the doubt

As you crushed my cigarette out
