Inversion
I don’t know why I always fall for the bad guy
And though I know it’s not my fault, I can’t seem to bring
myself to leave you where you are
(Far)
I don’t how to escape the pull when you draw me to you
And though I’m conscious of the fact, all reason leaks through
the cracks in my mind, safe inside
(Hide)
I don’t know how to fix these things I have broken
Like the net I fell through when I thought I was coping
I’m hoping I can save myself from drowning in your eyes
(Deny)
I used to be a good girl, always
Did the right thing, now I’m fighting
to remember all the lies
All the barriers that kept me safe inside
of my mind
‘Til you broke through
CHORUS:
Like a flash of lightning
A bolt out of the blue
You tore my life in two
Now I gotta choose between what’s right
Between what hurts
I’m gonna try
to invert
You know exactly how to play, and I’m still learning the rules
You know just how to bend the game, so I have to keep turning
I am on my last life, tossed into the tide
(Ride)
I never went against the grain
Things were easy, please don’t tease me
I’m trying to reverse
But suddenly I’ve run too many laps
I’m on my last
Ah, oh, aha
CHORUS
I remember that crucial point in time
I remember how the dark began to shine
When you left your shadow-sphere
Like an evil angel, trailed by fear
You made me blind, now I can’t live
without the negative
And though it hurts
I know I must invert
