Adam Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's never as it seems
I never wanted all my discontent to innerviel
Well I have set out to become one of the broken hearted
I have made all intentions out on the floor
Never before have Ive been such an easy target
I can't determine right or wrong anymore, well I'm playing my own game
And usually it's different
And it tends to my way
But fortune favors those who'll live to fight another day, yeah
Well I've set out to become one of the broken hearted
I have made all intentions out on the floor
Never before have I've been such an easy target
I can't determine right or wrong anymore
Well I'm playing my own game
I'm not one to bind the rules
But still I remain a fool oh oh oh oh
I've set out to become one of the broken hearted
I've made all intentions out on the floor
Never before have Ive been such an easy target
I cant determine right or wrong anymore oh yeah

Never before have I've been such an easy
Target I can't determine right or wrong anymore
Well I'm playing my own game
Cause I don't know the score
