The Wrong Way

I've seen you bite your nails in guilty thought

Thought you couldn't care less until I saw those paws

I'd say ya took a bite for every lie you told

But you'd run out of fingers and started on your toes

Don't think you're on to something good right now

So let's go back to the starting place

And I believe in futures, but I can't afford to wait

You've been doing it the wrong way

And some day you'll find something that makes you feel okay

But until then you'll make your own way

You're the type of girl who puts on cyanide perfume

Then asks for kisses on the neck from every boy in the room

So tell me now how you find yourself at the bottom of a bottle in a bar

And how your reflection reacts to you and your new scars

I don't think you're on to something good right now

I don't think you're on to something good right now

So let's go back to the starting place

And I believe in futures, but I can't afford to wait

You've been doing it the wrong way

And some day you'll find something that makes you feel okay

But until then you'll make your own way

All's well that ends well, I'm finished with this game

There's got to be a better way than learning from your mistakes

A small step for man now with you out of the way

But now it's up to me to change

And make it so tomorrow starts today

And I believe in futures, but I can't afford to wait

You've been doing it the wrong way

And some day you'll find something that makes you feel okay

But until then you'll make your own way
