Not What It Seems
[Verse 1]
A long day
If ever these questions were yours
What would you say?
You don't know
But I'm writing the answer on cheap
Paper napkins

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now he's turning off
And now she's shutting down

[Chorus 1]
And it's not what it seems
Nothing's the same when you give it away
No, it's not what it seems
It's just what you think it is

[Verse 2]
And these fights
They climb through my veins like it's
Mercury rising
And these nights
I seem to remember a
Home that was better

[Pre-Chorus 1]

[Chorus 1]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And now he's turning off
His family's breaking down

[Chorus 2] [x2]
And it's not what it seems
Nothing's the same when you give it away
No, it's not what it seems
It's just what you think it is
Just what you think it is

It's just what you think it is
What you think it is
