The Wrong Way
Beauty's Confusion Lyrics

Don't take this the wrong way
I'm not trying to offend you

But you will never get
You won't ever receive

The satisfaction you desire
What you want to make you happy

This is not a punishment
It's not meant to hurt you

It's just a simple fact
It's the truth, plain and simple

When you try to find your happiness
When you search for joy

In someone who can't give it back
From someone who can't provide it

You'll get burned
You'll get hurt

And after one time
And although it only happens once

Most would just say lesson learned
Many would say they've learned their lesson

But you keep
But you continue

Holding on
To grasp onto

Hope you'll break him down
Thinking you'll make him change

But you're the one who's breaking now
When you're the one falling apart

Don't be so naive
Don't be gullible

It was only a dream
It was only a figment of your imagination

How could you ever believe
How did you think it was real?

It was real
It actually happened

Do you still believe in fairy tales, too
Do you also still trust in unrealistic stories?

Oh but don't take this the wrong way
But again, don't get upset

I'm not trying to put you down
I'm not criticizing you

You've been doing that well on your own
You've been able to do it without any help

Living by the modern martyr's philosophy
Following the belief of the typical victim

If you can't get love, get sympathy yeah
If you can't receive love, at least get pity from others

Honestly, do you really need
Do you actually require

Somebody to put you on your knees
Someone who puts you in such a weak position

You can take the fall
You can accept the negative consequence

But you're afraid to walk again
But you fear getting hurt again

Or will you break if you bend
Or will it cause you to break if you try to be flexible

It was just make-believe
It never really existed

Stop deceiving yourself
Stop lying to yourself

And grow up, grow up
And become more mature

I am not impossible
I'm not an unattainable goal

And you are not a dream
And you're not just an idea

Nothing can compare
Nothing can match up

To getting high on self-esteem
To feeling confident and proud of yourself

Maybe I'll be your regret
Perhaps you'll regret me

But you will not be my mistake
But I won't make the mistake of being with you

You are just a lesson
You're simply a learning experience

I refuse to learn until I
I won't learn from you until I

Break
Fall apart and get hurt

Walk away, walk away, walk away
Just leave and don't look back
