Secondhand Emotion Songtext
von Carmine

I blamed it all on the recession
(My fire and brimstone self-expression)
Content with a glass half empty
′Til you showed me your revulsion
("You're just a heart without a pulse")
And it woke me up, got me back on my feet

And I cannot pretend
To see the world through rose-tinted lens
But I could hear you out

Cause I′ve been bad at belief
And you look armed to the teeth
Can you teach me all about devotion
You've got a heart that bleeds
I'm just the type that needs
To feel that secondhand emotion


Let′s circle back to my confession
(I had a longstanding obsession)
Placed bets on a man-made ending
You roll your eyes at my narration
(And get that look of revelation)
That broke me up, but I wanna be free

So take me as I am
(I, I, I)
I know you′re not the biggest fan
Of my philosophy

Cause I've been bad at belief
And you look armed to the teeth
Can you teach me all about devotion
You′ve got a heart that bleeds
I'm just the type that needs
To feel that secondhand emotion
Honestly, when I hear you speak
It′s got me finding faith in humanity
(Bring that secondhand emotion)

(ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(ah-ah, ah-ah)


Cause I've been bad at belief
And you look armed to the teeth
Can you teach me all about devotion
You′ve got a heart that bleeds
I'm just the type that needs
To feel that secondhand emotion

Cause I've been bad at belief
And you look armed to the teeth
Can you teach me all about devotion
You′ve got a heart that bleeds
I′m just the type that needs
To feel that secondhand emotion
You've got a lesson to teach
Go practice what you preach
Until you set your plans in motion
It′s got me finding faith in humanity
(Bring that secondhand emotion)

(ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Bring that secondhand emotion)
