Old Ways
It was fun playin' with knives
Until a blade
Stuck in the left side of my chest
Surprise
I'm not down again, I turned the page
This story's mine
No more watchin' the world from my doorstep
Passin' me by (passin' me by)
And I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I was
But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways
I'm gonna say: No way
I'm out of the doorway
I'm hearin' them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)
Now I know what's good for me
All that I need
And I can't wait to sink my teeth in
And take another bite
And the best part about it
Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it
I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin'
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold
And I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I was
But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways
I'm gonna say: No way
I'm out of the doorway
I'm hearin' them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)
Every scar
The flames burnt them all
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm spiraling, I'm spiraling
Past the stars
I'm not burning out
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm not afraid anymore
And I just keep changin' my colors
I'm not in the same place that I was, I was
(And the best part about it)
(Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it)
(I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin')
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold
And I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I was
But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways
I'm gonna say: No way
I'm out of the doorway
I'm hearin' them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways
