...

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me

I guess I'll make my own way

It's a circle, a mean cycle

I can't excite you anymore

...

Where's your gavel, your jury?

What's my offense this time?

You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me

Well, sentence me to another life

...

Don't wanna hear your sad songs

I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault

'Cause you know we're not the same

We're not the same

Oh, we're not the same

Yeah the friends who stuck together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change

Is good, is good

It's goodddddd

...

Oh you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

...

This is the best thing that could've happened

Any longer and I wouldn't have made it

It's not a war, no it's not a rapture

I'm just a person, but you can't take it

...

The same tricks that once fooled me

They won't get you anywhere

I'm not the same kid from your memory

Oh now I can fend for myself

...

Don't wanna hear your sad songs

I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault

'Cause you know we're not the same

We're not the same

Oh, we're not the same

Yeah we used to stick together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change

Is good, is good

It's goodddddd

...

Oh you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

...

Oh you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
