mad house

Glittering like glass on the sidewalk
(by lake street)
It's been a couple months since we really talked
(still waiting)
And I know it's for the best
But I'm still talking to you
(in my head)
(ooh, ooh)

They say you never know if you never try
(I guess it's true)
I think I'll spend the rest of my life
(getting over you)
And I wasted a year
I've been losing my mind
(if you care)

I'm the villain of the story these days
Pretending I cant read what's written on your face
Antagonize me, admit that you don't want me around
And I'll stay stuck
Rot away in my mad house, mad house
Mad house, mad house

Listening to songs I've heard before
(in a new light)
Doing what I can to ease the war
(in their minds)
And I know it's against the rules
Thinking I could be loved
(I played the fool)

I'm the villain of the story these days
Pretending I cant read what's written on your face
Antagonize me, admit that you don't want me around
And I'll stay stuck
Rot away in my mad house, mad house
Mad house, mad house

What do I do when the monster's out the cage?
How do I live when it's all on display?
What do I do when the monster's out the cage?
How do I live when it's written on my face?
What do I do when the monster's out the cage?
How do I live when it's all on display?
What do I do when the monster's out the cage?
How do I live when it's written on my face?

I'm the villain of the story you say
All the evidence you need is written on my face
Incarcerate me, admit you don't want me around
Leave me be
I'll rot away in my mad house
Mad house
