The Academy Is... › Lyrics › You Might Have Noticed

If you're under the impression I'm alright
I guess you never noticed, I guess you might have known
I've been holding this together for so long
But I guess you might have noticed, well, I guess you

The beast within the burden is all mine
A product of his father, a slave to his bride
I feel I need to reveal my true stripes
But the b**** of all this trouble here waits behind the wind to find out

You set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me, yeah

I'm sinking more and more into my lies
Now home is just a pinprick in the vastness of my life
Well I feel the pressure, feel the pleasure, feel the pain, you're not alone
Well I feel the pleasure, feel the pain, feel the pain

You set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me, yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was
You change directions every time someone judges us
In moderation, what was once us now never was
You change directions every time someone judges us

You set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
You wanted from me, yeah

Set me up to leave me
You set me up to leave me

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was
In moderation, what was once us now never was
