ILLENIUM, Avril Lavigne, Travis Barker - Eyes Wide Shut lyrics
[ILLENIUM, Avril Lavigne, Travis Barker - Eyes Wide Shut lyrics]
I say I love you, but I don't
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
I'm dead, but you probably can't tell
Been scalin' the walls of the wishin' well
My head's in the sky
But I'm fallin' backwards, yeah
Night crawlin', I'm wide awake in my dreams
Wake up and I don't know what anything means
We're completely different people than
The people we wanted
Have we outgrown this city? I'm so tired
Of wishin' I was somewhere different
Than where you are with my eyes wide shut
I say I love you, but I don't
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
Oh, 'cause I don't get high off you anymore
No, I don't get high off you anymore
Smilin' into the mirror like a psychopath
Can't remember the last time
You made me laugh
Drawing tears with my lipstick
You're the first on my hit list
Have we outgrown this city? I'm so tired
Of wishin' I was somewhere different
Than where you are with my eyes wide shut
I say I love you, but I don't
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
Oh, 'cause I don't get high off you anymore
No, I don't get high off you
Have we outgrown this city?
Wish I was somewhere different
From where you are
Have we outgrown this city?
Or have I gone missin' in the dark?
I say I love you, but I don't (But, I don't)
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
(I'm miserable)
Oh, 'cause I don't get high off you anymore
No, I don't get high off you
(I don't get, I don't get) anymore
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
I'm dead, but you probably can't tell
Been scalin' the walls of the wishin' well
My head's in the sky
But I'm fallin' backwards, yeah
Night crawlin', I'm wide awake in my dreams
Wake up and I don't know what anything means
We're completely different people than
The people we wanted
Have we outgrown this city? I'm so tired
Of wishin' I was somewhere different
Than where you are with my eyes wide shut
I say I love you, but I don't
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
Oh, 'cause I don't get high off you anymore
No, I don't get high off you anymore
Smilin' into the mirror like a psychopath
Can't remember the last time
You made me laugh
Drawing tears with my lipstick
You're the first on my hit list
Have we outgrown this city? I'm so tired
Of wishin' I was somewhere different
Than where you are with my eyes wide shut
I say I love you, but I don't
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
Oh, 'cause I don't get high off you anymore
No, I don't get high off you
Have we outgrown this city?
Wish I was somewhere different
From where you are
Have we outgrown this city?
Or have I gone missin' in the dark?
I say I love you, but I don't (But, I don't)
I say I'm fine, but I'm miserable
(I'm miserable)
Oh, 'cause I don't get high off you anymore
No, I don't get high off you
(I don't get, I don't get) anymore
