Headlines
Center stage, all the rage
Dim the lights, the joke's on you
Imagine all the things they put you through
Crack all your eggs in the same empty basket
Just look at the mess you've made
You'll never be good enough
You'll never go far enough
Some of us weren't meant to leave
That's what the headlines say
You'll never be good enough
You'll never break through enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
I remember having faith
Try to think a little clearer
Before every word became an open sore
Always counting down the days
Will I ever get a sign
I throw my hands up at the sky
If I could swallow another winter
I just might make it out alive
Nowhere to go but up
Sometimes I feel like falling
Take a breath, we'll scream up at the sky
Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep trying to ignore the headlines
Ignore the headlines
I think I'm drowning
I swore I'd never get in over my head
Throw me a lifeline, I swear that my eyes are turning red
And still I answer half-heartedly
"I'm fine"
"I'm great"
I lie through my teeth
Sometimes I feel like falling
Take a breath, we'll scream up at the sky
Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep trying to ignore the headlines
Ignore the headlines
Here we are back at the start again
Trying to stay afloat
We're swimming in circles again
You'll never be good enough
You'll never go far enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
You'll never be good enough
You'll never break through enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
Dim the lights, the joke's on you
Imagine all the things they put you through
Crack all your eggs in the same empty basket
Just look at the mess you've made
You'll never be good enough
You'll never go far enough
Some of us weren't meant to leave
That's what the headlines say
You'll never be good enough
You'll never break through enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
I remember having faith
Try to think a little clearer
Before every word became an open sore
Always counting down the days
Will I ever get a sign
I throw my hands up at the sky
If I could swallow another winter
I just might make it out alive
Nowhere to go but up
Sometimes I feel like falling
Take a breath, we'll scream up at the sky
Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep trying to ignore the headlines
Ignore the headlines
I think I'm drowning
I swore I'd never get in over my head
Throw me a lifeline, I swear that my eyes are turning red
And still I answer half-heartedly
"I'm fine"
"I'm great"
I lie through my teeth
Sometimes I feel like falling
Take a breath, we'll scream up at the sky
Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep trying to ignore the headlines
Ignore the headlines
Here we are back at the start again
Trying to stay afloat
We're swimming in circles again
You'll never be good enough
You'll never go far enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
You'll never be good enough
You'll never break through enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
