Nowadays

[Intro] (Something's not right, I don't understand) [Verse 1] Nowadays I keep to myself Everybody else can look some other way Things I say seem to get me into trouble That I've been through for too many days [Chorus 1] And trouble is a friend of mine I'd like to leave behind I like my friends more refined [Verse 2] Things I lose, weighing on my heart Every time I start to think maybe it's through A little lie, goes a long way When you can't say quite for sure what's the truth [Chorus 2] The truth is something no one really Wants to hear you say Just how you doin' and have a nice day [Verse 3] Nowadays you go for a walk Better not stop and wave or say hello Just as soon, people will spit, give you shit Just for looking at them and walking too slow [Chorus 3] Slowly and methodically I'll lock the world away Haunted by my better days
