Cold War Kids - Scandalized Lyrics

Cold War Kids Lyrics

"Scandalized"

(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

Back in the day I was something special
Always the star, never the extra
Boy, when you need a break
Life has a way, of knocking blood on your face

I was so desperate for your attention
My insecurity craves perfection
You know how this story goes
They'll watch you rise, but they love to see you fall

I'm scandalized, I'll scandalize
I don't know, I don't know what I want anymore
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights
I try over and over, I can't let it go

Feels safe but love is lust
We've been hypnotized
Is there anyone to trust
Got me scandalized

Feels safe but love is lust
We've been hypnotized
Every single one of us
Got me scandalized

You think you're better, you think you're winning
My back is to the wall, but I'll go down swinging
Boy, you need to stop, taking your plot
You're not the one in charge

Call me the problem while you pick my pocket
And watch me melt down in the supermarket
Love, see what you've done
Your thing on the drum, it's rue against everyone

I'm scandalized, I'll scandalize
I don't know, I don't know what I want anymore
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights
I try over and over, I can't let it go

Feels safe but love is lust
We've been hypnotized
Is there anyone to trust
Got me scandalized

Feels safe but love is lust
We've been hypnotized
Every single one of us
Got me scandalized
Got me scandalized

I'm scandalized, I'm scandalized
I don't know, I don't know what I want anymore
I'm scandalized, I'm scandalized
I try over and over, I can't let it go

Feels safe but but love is lust
We've been hypnotized
Every single one of us
Got me scandalized

Feels safe but love is lust
We've been hypnotized
