Nowadays

Nowadays I keep to myself Everybody else can look some other way Things I say seem to get me into trouble That I've been through for too many days And trouble is a friend of mine I'd like to leave behind I like my friends more refined Things I lose Weighing on my heart Every time I start to think Maybe it's through A little lie Goes a long way when you can't say Quite for sure what's the truth The truth is something no one really Wants to hear you say Just how you doin' and have a nice day Nowadays you go for a walk Better not stop and wave or say hello Just this song People will spit, give you shit Just for looking at them And walking too slow Slowly and methodically I'll lock the world away Haunted by my better days
