City Limits - Headlines Lyrics



City Limits - Headlines Lyrics




Center stage, all the rage
Dim the lights, the joke's on you
Imagine all the things they put you through
Crack all your eggs in the same empty basket
Just look at the mess you've made

You'll never be good enough
You'll never go far enough
Some of us weren't meant to leave
That's what the headlines say

You'll never be good enough
You'll never break through enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me

I remember having faith
Try to think a little clearer
Before every word became an open sore
Always counting down the days
Will I ever get a sign
I throw my hands up at the sky

If I could swallow another winter
I just might make it out alive
Nowhere to go but up

Sometimes I feel like falling
Take a breath, we'll scream up at the sky
Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep trying to ignore the headlines

Ignore the headlines

I think I'm drowning
I swore I'd never get in over my head
Throw me a lifeline, I swear that my eyes are turning red

And still I answer half-heartedly
"I'm fine"
"I'm great"
I lie through my teeth

Sometimes I feel like falling
Take a breath, we'll scream up at the sky
Sometimes I feel like dying
But I keep trying to ignore the headlines

Ignore the headlines

Here we are back at the start again
Trying to stay afloat
We're swimming in circles again

You'll never be good enough
You'll never go far enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me

You'll never be good enough
You'll never break through enough
Don't believe everything you read
That's what the headlines say to me
