Have You Heard - How Things Go Lyrics

I've been far from perfect lately
Feeling like there is nothing that will save me
Then I see the truth, it's clear I've been confused
I've been trying to say all the right things
Trying to make sure I do things the right way
Just to please you, I've been ignoring the truth

[Chorus:]
But I know that I wont let go
To every little thing that I think I know
Because I've been told this is it
Drugs, sex, and rock n' roll
Its all in the look cause that's how these things go
When this should be something your heart bleeds for
(I will give all I have until I have nothing more)

Turn off the television and the stereo
Grab a pencil and paper and just be alone
So I can say the things I've wanted to say
But its hard to escape the demons I face
They sometimes bring me to a terrible place
I wish they'd go away

[Pre-chorus:]
This is the part where you say, "it's okay!"
That everyone sometimes feels the same way
