I See Things Upside Down

what looks like failure is success 
and what looks like poverty is riches 
when what is true looks more like a knife 
it looks like you're killing me 
but you're saving my life 

chorus 
but i give myself to what looks like love 
and i sell myself for what feels like love 
and i pay to get what is not love 
and all just because i see things upside down 

what looks like weakness can do anything 
and what looks like foolishness is understanding 
when what is powerful has not come to fight 
it looks like you're going to war 
but you lay down your life 

chorus 
what looks like torture is a time to rejoice 
what sounds like thunder is a comforting voice 
when what is beautiful looks broken and crushed 
and i say i don't know you 
but you say it's finished 
when what is beautiful looks broken and crushed 
and i say i don't know you 
but you say it's finished
