The Only Way I Know Lyrics

I was a young kid on the border

Next to the edge on the pictures

Ready to burn off the ocean

Ready to crack all the fissures

I was a young kid of the sort, uh

Looking for thrills, short of freedom

Feeling alive when I was hurt

Ready to dive into the fractures

And I knew

That one day I would finally lose

And I knew

That it could not keep going on

And I knew

That one day I would have to move

But I knew

It's the only thing I could do

Living on the edge, like it's the only way I know

Looking for the pain, like it's the only way I know

Burning all I care about, fleeing 'fore I get attached

Acting like I never cared, 'cause it's the only way I know

I was a young teen on a thread

Looking for people I could care for

Getting my heart smashed on the ground

Broken again, and then again

Shattered to pieces in the rain, oh

My spirit blazing like a flame, oh

I don't remember of these years, no

Nothing but the sadness and the pain, wow

And I knew

That one day I would finally lose

And I knew

That it could not keep going on

And I knew

That one day I would have to move

But I knew

It's the only thing I could do

Living on the edge, like it's the only way I know

Looking for the pain, like it's the only way I know

Burning all I care about, fleeing 'fore I get attached

Acting like I never cared, 'cause it's the only way I know

Look at me burn, burning my cage

Ten years, and I got the same rage

Look at me die, look at me blaze

Do you really think that I could change?

Look at me burn, burning my chains

Ten years, and I got the same rage

Look at me die, look at me blaze

Do you really think I could have changed?

Living on the edge, like it's the only way I know

Looking for the pain, like it's the only way I know

Burning all I care about, fleeing 'fore I get attached

Acting like I never cared, 'cause it's the only way I know
