If I was the last person to know
How you cheated me
Did you think I could let go
Of your betrayal easily?
Oh no, it went deep
I lost a lot of sleep
Thinking I had no one to turn to

Oh I, oh I
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
How you ever gonna see clearly?
Are you ever gonna know the real me?
I gotta stop the world
I gotta stop the world
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me

Oh I, oh I
I can't take all the misquotes and lies
Barbed wire bouquets
But you I never thought would stoop so lowI guess that goes to show
What you just don't know can really hurt you so
And I'm not sure who to trust anymore

Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Are you ever gonna see clearly?
How you ever gonna know the real me?
I gotta stop the world
I gotta stop the world
I gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Oh I, oh I (oh I)
Oh I, oh I (oh I)
I can't deny it stresses me like no lover ever could
Makes me wonder why the world
Is such a jealous lover

Ask me what have I learned?
You gotta play the fool to catch the wise
Act the mute to hear the liesWhat else, what else (what else)
And the rest, coming home is always the best
But a smile can hide a deadly weapon
And a friend you thought you could rely on
Don't you feel sorry for me, baby
Don't you feel sorry for me, baby

Oh I, oh I
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Are you ever gonna see clearly?
How you ever gonna know the real me?
Gotta stop the world
Oh, I gotta stop the world
Gotta stop the world
Gotta stop the world misfocusing on me

Are you ever gonna see clearly?
How you ever gonna know the real me?
I gotta stop the world
I gotta stop the world misfocusing on me
Oh I, oh I, oh I ....
