You've read the books, You've watched the shows, What's the best way no one knows, yeah, Meditate, get hypnotized. Anything to take from your mind. But it won't go You're doing all these things out of desperation, Ohhh woah, You're going through six degrees of separation. You hit the drink, you take a toll Watch the past go up in smoke. Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that, I'm better now than ever, and your life's okay Well it's not. No You're doing all these things out of desperation, Ohhh woah, You're going through six degrees of separation. First, you think the worst is a broken heart What's gonna kill you is the second part And the third, is when your world splits down the middle And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself Fifth, you see them out with someone else And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little. (No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself) You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too, Anyone'll throw an arm around you, yeah Tarot cards Gems and stones, Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul. We'll it's not, no You're only doing things out of desperation, Ohhh woah, You're goin' through six degrees of separation. First, you think the worst is a broken heart What's gonna kill you is the second part And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself Fifth, you see them out with someone else And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little. No there's no starting over, Without finding closure, You'd take them back, No hesitation, That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation No there's no starting over, Without finding closure, You'd take them back, No hesitation, That's when you know you've reached the sixth Degree of separation First, you think the worst is a broken heart What's gonna kill you is the second part And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself Fifth, you see them out with someone else And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little.
