[Verse 1]
Wake up and put on your new shade
Paint it on with addiction
This is the first time that you've ever felt alive
[Chorus]
This is not the way it's supposed to be
I thought that we were family
But the time has come to figure out where the difference lies
And see the world through honest eyes
[Verse 2]
Just admit it, let the truth fall from your lips
Cause I've known too many liars and their decline started just like this
Well, I'm not perfect and I'm no saint
But I won't sit here and take the blame
While you bite the hand that feeds
I'd rather shoot the pilot and crash the plane
[Chorus]
This is not the way it's supposed to be
I thought that we were family
But the time has come to figure out where the difference lies
And see the world through honest eyes
[Chorus]
This is not the way it's supposed to be
I thought that we were family
But the time has come to figure out where the difference lies
And see the world through honest eyes
[Bridge]
It's so hard to be faithful
When you're just lying through your teeth
I played my part in your downfall
And still you turned your back on me
My mind is tracing and replacing
My heart is beating through my chest
I'm at the bottom of the bottle
Trying to figure out what's left
[Chorus]
This is not the way it's supposed to be
I thought that we were family
But the time has come to figure out where the difference lies
And see the world through honest eyes
[Chorus]
This is not the way it's supposed to be
I thought that we were family
But the time has come to figure out where the difference lies
And see the world through honest eyes
[Outro (sang underneath last Chorus)]
Listen when I say I've had enough
This is not a game, it's thick as blood
