this time
when you call
I won't answer
this time
when you cry
I won't come
this time
when you fall
I won't be there
this time
when you lie
I won't listen
you had
your chance
if you want me back
well, thats's too bad
you had
no sympathy
if you want it from me
well, I'm not sorry
this time
when you beg
I won't cave
this time
when you bleed
I won't remedy
this time
when you freak out
I won't compose
this time
when you reach out
I won't extend
you had
your chance
if you want me back
well, thats's too bad
you had
no sympathy
if you want it from me
well, I'm not sorry

I crawled into a hole
deep, dark and warm
I waited for the perfect moment
she pranced by like she was immortal

until she fell into my hole.

your eyes
were the
only light
that pierced
the midnight
you words
were the
only sound
that pierced
the silence

I'm tired of fighting
fighting with you
fighting for you
fighting with myself
I'm tired of lying
lying for you
lying to myself
lying to my friends

your kiss
was the
only touch
that penetrated
my walls
your revenge
was the
only blow
that penetrated
my defenses

I'm tired of fighting
fighting with you
fighting for you
fighting with myself
I'm tired of lying
lying for you
lying to myself
lying to my friends

think it's time
for me to call it a night
I'm exhausted and
I'm all out of fight

you're not a ghost
for that you would
have to be visible sometimes
you're like a demon
you possess me
to commit these crimes
I just wanna be your drug
Do all of me
As fast as you can,
Never get enough.

Have your cake
And eat mine too
I'll watch you grow
Fat and soft
While I become
Small and hard

it comes and goes
like breath from my lungs
been holding my fists at my sides
holding onto this anger so tight

there's nothing there,
your eyes are playing tricks
nothing is haunting you
but the memory of this
what you heard is not
what you think you heard
it's just the wind blowing
I never slammed that door

it comes and goes
like a fever from my skull
been trying to sweat it out
but it just won't break

there's nothing there,
your eyes are playing tricks
nothing is haunting you
but the memory of this
what you heard is not
what you think you heard
it's just the wind blowing
I never slammed that door

when you come home
will I recognize you?
all of these things that
I know you're missing
ripped the clocks off the wall
I can't take the ticking

I know every word
I know this dance
I know this story
by heart

you didn't get
the best of me
but you could of,
if you didn't give
the worst of you

when you come home
will it be boarded up?
because I feel so vacant
and I want to fall apart
I closed the curtain cause
I can't play this part

I know every word
I know this dance
I know this story
by heart

you didn't get
the best of me
but you could of,
if you didn't give
the worst of you

I've been smoking like I'm on fire
I've been balancing like I'm on a wire
I've been sleeping like the dead
I've been tripping over what's left unsaid

Your love is like a slap in the face
I can't stop it from turning into hate
It's the difference between medicine and poison
And I won't take it again

I've been drinking like I'm dying of thirst
I've been laughing like it doesn't hurt
I've been wearing the night like a veil
I've been trying like it's not going to fail

This love is a gun to my head
hands in the air, waiting for the end
It's the difference between medicine and poison
And I won't take it again

I can't swallow this
It's too big
I can't spit it out
I like the taste of it

My love is like a backhanded serenade
don't want to lie in the bed we've made
It's the difference between medicine and poison
And I won't take it again

If anyone asks,
I was never here
what happens tonight
is neither here nor there

you put me through hell
expecting me to be an angel
you dragged me through the mud
expecting me to come clean

Tonight, I'm a ghost
You can't touch me
Even if you see me
You won't believe

If anyone asks,
I couldn't care less
What happened last night
Just whispers behind my back

you asked me for my heart
expecting that not to leave a hole
you stripped me of everything
expecting me to still have my diginity

Tonight, I'm a ghost
You can't touch me
Even if you see me
You won't believe

nobody gets what they deserve
nobody gets a second chance
nobody gets what they give
you get what you get

If anyone asks,
I was never here
what happens tonight
is neither here nor there

I love you so much
that I could never
take anything from you
I won't ******* you
so you can't run away
I won't cover your mouth
so you can't lie to me
I won't tie your hands
so they can't betray me

live it up
live it up
while you can
one day
I'll be gone
and she won't
let you get away
with ******

I love you so much
that I could never
let you be punished
for your crimes
I won't turn against you
not even to save myself
I won't put you in a cage
though you're a monster

live it up
live it up
while you can
one day
I'll be gone
and she won't
let you get away
with ******

she said,
"keep your
pretty little
head up"
don't cry,
don't waste
your mascara
you better
believe she's
not crying
for you
you better
believe she's
not dying
to be
with you
get up
on your
feet and
make her
see what
she's missing

you wrap
around me
like a snake
I can't breathe
I can't move
I'll suffocate
if I don't
get away
from you

you used
to say
we're never
gonna be
like everybody
else is
we're never
gonna take
each other
for granted
you're never
gonna stop
holding
my hand

you wrap
around me
like a snake
I can't breathe
I can't move
I'll suffocate
if I don't
get away
from you

if I don't
get away
from you...

you can show your teeth
alpha male
you can growl at me
alpha male
you can chase me away
alpha male
but if you follow me
alpha male
I will fashion a coat
from your skin, tiger.
RAWR!

should've been the bigger person
and walked away from you right then
should've never folded my hand
and just let you win again

feelings aren't like chess pieces,
you can't stratagize and move
them wherever you want
don't know what game you're
playing but count me out
mark my words, that one day
you'll be sorry for the way
you disposed of me

should've been the stronger person,
and just took your right and left hooks
should've never tapped out
and shown my weakness

hearts aren't like diamonds,
you can't wear them around
your finger, take them off
throw them in a box until later
don't know what you value me
at but I know that I don't
shine like I used to

should've been the bigger person,
and let sleeping dogs lie before me
should've never kicked the hive
and expected to get honey

you're gonna shut your mouth
and listen for once, I'm talking now
don't act like you don't owe me
a few precious moments of your time
the goodbye you robbed me of,
deserves to play out as it should
And I'll admit, it will never be enough
I'm just too angry and confused about it

I know it's futile
To fake this smile
I know it's obvious
how I really feel
I know it's foolish
to waste my breath

you're gonna shut your mouth
and face your victim one on one
don't act like your innocent,
everyone knows what you've done
the things that you stole from me
can never be replaced or found
And I'll admit, I don't want restitution
But I'd settle for some sweet revenge

I know it's useless
to cry over this
I know it's obvious
that I'm still burning
I know I'm better off
but I feel so lost

you're like a clown
with that painted smile
you've always got
something up your sleeve
but you're tricks don't
entertain me at all

don't cry to me like
you have a conscience
don't lie to me like
I haven't already heard it

there's no morality in your manner
there's no sincerity in your banter

you're like a book
that I've already read
despite your cover,
I already know the end
and it was never a good
story to begin with

don't scan my face for
any signs of forgiveness
don't hold yourself like
you've got an ounce of respect

there's no justice in your retribution
there's no faith in your communion

don't speak to me like
we never knew each other
don't look at me like
I don't know what you're thinking

I'll admit, it was selfish of me
to keep you just so you couldn't
be with anyone else
knowing myself, I couldn't face
the fact that I might not be
good enough for you

But I can't stop tapping this vein
It's the only release from this feeling
Like I'm a rock, tumbling down a mountain
I'm going to hit the ground so hard

When I remember, it's the only time
that I can touch you again
I can see you, I can feel you and
it's more than I can stand
I would ****, I would do anything
not to feel this way ever again

But I can't stop tapping this vein
It's the only release from this feeling
Like I'm a rock, tumbling down a mountain
I'm going to hit the ground so hard

You're never going to catch me,
You'll always have your hands full
I can barely remember what
it's like to be with you
I wish I could let it settle,
get up and brush it off

But I can't stop tapping this vein
It's the only release from this feeling
Like I'm a rock, tumbling down a mountain
I'm going to hit the ground *so hard

I never gave anything more of me
I never tried so hard to fix something
But like quicksand, the more I fought
for this the more you consumed me
Swallowing me like an ice cold glass
of water in the desert

I woke up before you did,
Left without saying goodbye again
I've got to wash your scent off my skin

Sleeping in the bed we used to share
Was like lying in my own coffin, dead awake
I closed my eyes and let darkness take me
Take me anywhere...

I never fell for anything or anyone
I never really hit any walls but
I crashed into you like a wave
breaking against the shore
I am salty and cold in your mouth
and you are dry and hard
against my skin

I woke up before you did,
Left without saying goodbye again
I've got to wash your scent off my skin

Sleeping in the bed we used to share
Was like lying in my own coffin, dead awake
I closed my eyes and let darkness take me
Take me anywhere...

Do you think they notice?
That you and I are like magnets
I feel you pulling me in and
it's a force that I can't resist
It's what we are

Sleeping in the bed we used to share
Was like lying in my own coffin, dead awake
I closed my eyes and let darkness take me
Take me anywhere...

Tonight, there's nothing between us
We were never in love
There were no sleepless nights
Lying awake angry at each other
No words that were fashioned
into tiny little knifes

So come over here baby
There's nothing to be afraid of
I will never hurt you again

We call, we hang up
We get drunk, slip up
We get mad, take it back

We look thru each other
Like we never touched
We move thru the night
Like we've never spent it
how can you be so sure?
This won't last forever

Tonight there's nothing between us
I walk by like a lure on a line...
I've got your attention,
You don't want to get caught up
but didn't I cut you lose last time?

So come over here baby
There's nothing to be afraid of
I will never hurt you again

We call, we hang up
We get drunk, slip up
We get mad, take it back

We look thru each other
Like we never touched
We move thru the night
Like we've never spent it
how can you be so sure?
This won't last forever

I know that you remember
that song we used to sing together
Though everytime you hear it
Now you turn it off
I know that you know what
I know, that real love
is forever even if its lost

These nights that we
haven't spent together
Nights I spent in the crowd
Trying not to feel alone
Haven't we already exchanged
these words many times before?
Maybe this time we can put
the puzzle back together?
Are we missing pieces
Or are they just lost?

I know that you remember
that song we used to sing together
Though everytime you hear it
Now you turn it off
I know that you know what
I know, that real love
is forever even if its lost

These fights that had
So many casualties
Fights that brought us
together and tore us apart
Haven't we already exchanged
these words many times before?
Maybe this time we'll finally
call the time of death?
Do we have a fighting chance
Or is this love terminal?

I know that you remember
that song we used to sing together
Though everytime you hear it
Now you turn it off
I know that you know what
I know, that real love
is forever even if its lost

You step to the left, I step to the right
Been stepping on each other toes all night
We used to move together like fluent tongues
Dancing instinctively to our own song

But winter's chill took over our bodies,
Froze our hearts and devastated our minds
We used to play on the same team,
Used to pass the ball to you when
I was surrounded by the enemy
But you dropped the ball...

You shut down, and a explode
We somewhat expected this meltdown
Kept a blind eye to the unstable core
Until we reached a critical point

Summer's heat drenched us in regret
Now we're drowning in our own skin
We used to walk together,
The world was so alive and so were we
And I watched everything die
along with you inside of me...

This once fertile land, is now a cemetary
What once was alive and beautiful
Grew feble and sickly with times decay

But oh, like a tree in the fall
You and I will be stripped bare,
But oh, like sweet spring
Life will return to our putrified limbs

Your name in my phone
has been "don't answer me" for months
From time to time, I think
about how sad it is that it
has come to this divided identity

I can't keep your name off my lips
I can't wash my hands clean of this
I'm so guilty...I'm so guilty
but I'll die before I confess

You turned the tables on me like a DJ
Spinning an infectious melody
That I hate but can't get out of my head
But I will never love you again

Your name incites
a million tiny riots inside of me
And to think it's been
that way since the moment we met
Oh my sick muse, how could I forget?

I can't keep your name off my lips
I can't wash my hands clean of this
I'm so guilty...I'm so guilty
but I'll die before I confess

You turned the tables on me like a DJ
Spinning an infectious melody
That I hate but can't get out of my head
But I can never be with you again

I took a late night drive
Turn it up
Let the music say what
I don't want to feel
I know these streets
Like the back of your hand
I've been down every road
Why am I still here?

I don't need to hear
What you have to say
But you'll tell me anyway

It's gonna be a long night
Light it up
I wanna hurt myself with
things that I don't need
I know this feeling
Like you know what you're doing
Do you think that I could
Be that girl ever again?

I don't need to hear
What you have to say
But you'll tell me anyway

I don't need to know
That you feel the same
But you'll tell me anyway

you're drifting
away from me
I feel you ripping
away slowly like
a band-aid
I won't be your
anchor this time
I am just a wound
that you never
let heal right

you say it makes
you sick the way
my face lights up
when I say her name
And I can't deny
You've caught me
Red handed
Is is still a lie If I
Don't want it to be true?

You're breaking
down on me
Like a vehicle
Leaving me stranded
So far out of
my boundaries
I can never come
back from this place
I won't fix you again
But I'm too invested
to just trade you in

you say it makes
you sick the way
my face lights up
when I say her name
And I can't deny
You've caught me
Red handed
Is is still a lie If I
Don't want it to be true?

this is the last
drunk phone call
I'll make
I won't waste
my breathe
ever again

your voice
comes through
the phone
and claims a
stake right
through me

And I know
that I am
yours again

this is the last
drunk phone call
I'll answer
I can't let you
keep pulling me
back in

your name
shows up
on my phone
and I feel
like my heart
is about to
stop

And I know
that I will never
be yours again

my head burns
I need a cigarette
Stop staring at me
I won't look at you

I'll have another drink
Fade into another world

If we make eye contact,
I know that I'll forget
Crimes your hands commited
Lies your lips whispered

how many times
can we play this game?
we beat each other
over and over again

I'll have a few shots
Do my second line

If we make eye contact,
I know that I'll forget
Crimes your hands commited
Lies your lips whispered

I can't get enough
I can't wait for this
night to be over
And I'll wake up
Hate myself, and
carry on...

If we make eye contact,
I know that I'll forget
Crimes your hands commited
Lies your lips whispered

I'll sing this song
for you
I'll give you my all
but I don't want to
everybody says
I'm still in love
but thats not it
I'm just so addicted
that I can't quit

strike the bell
call the match
it's all gone to hell
this can't be fixed

I'll bear this cross
for your sins
I'll fall on my knees
but I don't believe
in any of this
everybody thinks
that I'm a martyr
but I don't have anything
worth dying for

blast the sirens
call the time of death
you can keep trying
to save me but
I've already ascended

My heart is beating
out of my chest
Try to speak but
I can't catch my breath
Oh, how I live for this

My eyes are trying to
hold back bricks of tears
Try to regain myself
But I can't get a grip
Oh, how I live for this

My dreams are memories
I can't escape to my secret place
My memories are regrets
I can't see the light in any of this

Was the time of our lives
when we first met?
Was that the best
we're ever going to get?

My head is spinning
like a broken record
try to stop it but
It just keep going round and round
Oh, how I live for this

My body shaking
like a leaf in a storm
I try to hold on
But you keep blowing me away

My dreams are memories
I can't escape to my secret place
My memories are regrets
I can't see the light in any of this

Was the time of our lives
when we first met?
Was that the best
we're ever going to get?

This is my silent confession...
I don't know if I have
what it takes to be a woman
And walk away from you now
I miss the way you
would beg for me stay so
you could wake up next to me
Now there's nothing
left between me and you
But this invisible thread

And it pulls me
back and fourth
Like a pendulum
But I don't have the time

This is my silent confession...
I don't know if I can
live the rest of my life
Knowing you were once mine
And we'll always wonder
If we would've listened
If we would've shut our mouths
What would've happened
If we could've slowed down
If we never got lost in the crowd

And it haunts me
Like a guilty heart
pounding in my head
Eventhough I cut it out

for all the times
you left me speachless
for all the times
I left you, defeated
for all the drinks
we cheered to forever
for all the things
we said that we'd never do

Should I swallow my pride
Just to keep you in my life?
Should I speak my peace
And finally say goodbye?
But I still have these dreams
And
I live for this / I die for this
I live for this / I die for this

to all the promises
we made in arrogance
to all of the things
we lost in the process
to all the nights
we screamed and cried
for all of the things
we lived and died for

Should I swallow my pride
Just to keep you in my life?
Should I speak my peace
And finally say goodbye?
But I still have these dreams
And
I live for this / I die for this
I live for this / I die for this

can I take a step
without you following me?
can I take a breath
without choking on my words?
can I rise above this
without you lifting me up?

I've got your eyes
You've got my smile
You'll be forever blind
And I'll remain silent
You stole my heart
I took a part of you
I'll be forever heartless
And you'll be incomplete

I can't hear this
Not tonight
I can't do this
No, not tonight
I can't see you
No, not tonight

I got over it
You went under
I'll always be high
And you're just low
You twisted my will
I pushed you away
I can't think straight
You're in outer space

I can't hear this
Not tonight
I can't do this
No, not tonight
I can't see you
No, not tonight

I would rather you
of broken every bone
in my entire body
than that one
promise you broke
I would rather you
of ripped off my skin
than the one thing
you ripped from my hands

you were the flame
I was the cigarette
you lit me up and
I turned to ashes

I would rather you
of taken everything
that I have than
take me for granted
I would rather you
of spilt my skull
than split up our
little family

you were the flame
I was the cigarette
you lit me up and
I turned to ashes

You used to show up at my door,
broken, and defeated by the world
And I'd take you in like a stray,
feed you, give your head a place to rest
My arms used to be a cradle,
A warm, safe place for you to dream
Somehow they became a prison,
Captivation, soon turned to captivity

If I could've stopped this casting
From changing our characters
You wouldn't be a liar
And I wouldn't be a fool

You used to undress in front of me,
Disarm, expose yourself to me
And I'd kiss all of your wounds,
dress them, give you something for the pain
My eyes used to be your windows
They used to be open, and full of light
Somehow they are just holes now,
Something you can't get out of

If I could've stopped this devolution
From taking us back in time
You wouldn't be a stranger
And I wouldn't be a stranger

While I sleep
She cheats
on me
While my eyes
are closed
she cries
to nobody
She's sorry
but she's not
sorry
for me

I'll never tell
you not to leave
you are a free woman
you are free like the wind
I'll never tell
you I love you
You should be able to feel it
You should see it in my eyes
You've got a mouth full of lies
I've got a mouth full of venom
Let's see who makes it out alive
You'll never play fair with me
You always have something up your sleeve
Just because you cheat,
doesn't mean you'll beat me
I'll never tell
you what I'm thinking
I'll never show my cards
It's not like me to be layed out
I'll never tell
you I miss you

you spin your web
and I fly right in
invisible
weightless
captivity

I'm all wrapped up
waiting to be drained
suspended
helpless
weak

rip off my wings
and laugh in my face
predatory
poisonous
insect

cover my mouth
and strip me naked
*******
merciless
brutal

Forgive you?
I wish I could
Wash my mind clean of this
Like you washed away
the evidence

I can't get it out of my head
Her hands all over your skin
I wonder did she smell me?
Did she feel my impression?
I never questioned you,
I questioned myself

Forget about it?
I wish I never knew
Common sense tells me
to write this down

We tied the knot,
The noose around my neck
And when I fell for you
I fell to my death
I'd like to think that I
would not do it all again

Forgive myself?
Well, I wish I could
Shake this feeling
Like I did something wrong

I know I'm in love with
a charactor you made up
I know she's a villain,
I know I'm to play the victim
This is not a love story
This is an account of history

Forget this?*
I wish I didn't have to
Know that true love exists
And I let it slip
Through my hands

so you go
you've seen
the light
and I know
the darkness
will fill all
of the holes
and I dwell
between the
flash of light
and the girls
that bite
I think hell
is the sun
burning away
that sweet night
I don't ever
ever ever
want to see
the light
you are faceless
you are vapor
traceless
disappearing
I breathe you in
but something
else comes out
poisonous
invisible

a heart cannot be open
until it's been broken
all of my lovers hands
still touching my skin
I am an oracle
you come to me
expecting miracles
tell me who do you pray to
now that you goddess
has abandoned you
tell me who do you pray to
now that your goddess
has been proven fictional
no blessing ever came
without a deep sacrifice
the pieces I am missing
are lodged in someone else
I am a galaxy
you search me
for signs of life
tell me who do you pray to
now that you goddess
has abandoned you
tell me who do you pray to
now that your goddess
has been proven fictional

so you go
but leave your key
you're not allowed
back inside of me
don't know why
I keep expecting
anything less obscene
knowing your cruelty
far exceeds any
hole inside of me
don't know why
I keep expecting
a ******* miracle
knowing the cancer
growing inside of me
when did I get bit
by this infectious madness
when did I turn into
a blood thirsty beast
how can you go on
knowing you did
this to me
how can you claim
to be the victim
knowing the disease
that you left
inside of me
I'll never be
rid of you
but I will
be over you
I will transcend
this addiction
that leaves me
screaming for you
I won't go
no I shouldn't
have to go
I don't know why
I let you make me
the trespasser
knowing that you
came here and
I haven't moved
I don't know why
I keep rationalizing
your dependency on power
knowing that you are
the monster I created  
so you go
you go
you go
before I throw
you out.

if you get close enough to me
I'm not free
I'm not free
if you make a home for me
I'm your pet
I'm your pet
I don't wanna be that
I don't wanna be that
won't be the calm
before your storm
I won't be the nails
that you hang from
I won't be your anything
I'm nobody
I'm just roaming the streets
trying to stay alive
if you start feeding me
I'll crave you
I'll crave you
if you start taking care of me
I'll need you
I'll need you
I don't wanna do that
I don't wanna do that
won't be the calm
before your storm
I won't be the nails
that you hang from
I won't be your anything
I'm nobody
I'm just roaming the streets
trying to stay alive

you can show your teeth
alpha male
you can growl at me
alpha male
you can chase me away
alpha male
but if you follow me
alpha male
I will fashion a coat
from your skin, tiger.
RAWR!

You crossed the line
No surprise,
You never could resist a line.

I shouldn't have to have
this conversation with you
You already know what
you did was low
You knew it before you
picked up the phone
And called her into our home
You knew it before you
took off her clothes
And let her sleep on my pillow
You know
You know
You know
You Know You're Low
I'd give anything to hate
you for what you've done
But I've already forgiven you
Before anything happened
You knew you had me
the first time you told me a lie
And I let it slide...
You knew you had me
when you took that low blow
and I smiled and held
my tears inside...
You know
You know
You know
You Know You're Low
You shouldn't be saying
I'll never happen again
If you gave a **** this
problem wouldn't exist
You'll change
You're sorry
You love me
But it's the same
Sorry apology
You don't love me

You move through me like blood
Always in and out of my heart
If I lose all of you
I know that I will die
The sun rises every morning
But there is no light
And when it goes down
I lose myself in a crowd
And I don't dream anymore
I just playback memories
Like a movie I've seen before
Am I like the drag from your cigarette?
Blackening your insides
You **** me in, you ******* out
You know you should stop
But you're addicted
If you quit me completely
You'll be going thru withdrawal
you can pretend that your
body isn't fiending for me
when you're not on me
you feel nothing

Oh I've been lyin
Not to you
But to myself
All those nights
I spend cryin
Not over anyone else
But for myself
You're always the one
That pays for everything
But I'm the one that
Ends up in debt
Oh I've been tryin
Not for us
But for my health
I've been biding
Time not for us
But for myself
You're always the one
That apologizes
But I'm always sorry

I don't think, I know
that I'm smarter than you
you think I'm weak
cause ya saw me lickin' my wounds
now you're prowlin the woods
lookin' for little miss not quite as good
but I got news for ya baby
I'm the big bag wolf
and I'm coming for you.
when you sleep, I'm out
feedin' the animal inside of me
you think I'm crazy
but you haven't seen **** sweet baby
no, I'm not howling for you
I'm devouring the innocent
to fill the hole you left
but I got news for ya baby
I'm the big bad wolf
and I'm coming for you.

I dont care to know
where you roam
I'm walking the
bar district alone
I'm not your girl
I'm just a friend now
I'm not your world
you don't have
to pretend now
in my hands my
phone feels cold
will you call tonight
asking me to come home?
You're not my girl
you're somebody else
We shared our own world
but you kept it to yourself
I don't even remember
the straw,the last fight
the tug that tore us apart
turned day into night
I don't care whats
been done wrong
I don't want to write
this broken heart song
I want to lie naked
in your arms and
not feel exposed
I want to go where
the night takes me
but still feel close
I'm not your girl
I'm just another dead end
I'm not your homeland
There's nothing to defend

If I stand and fight
Would you turn and run
I waited my whole life
Just for that one moment
You wanna take it away...
Over my dead body
we love to hate each other
we hate to love each other
I watched you rip apart
our life we built together
I watched you take my heart
and swallow it like spit
I watched you run away
I never liked the chase
I watched myself die
so you could live a lie
throw them stones
but you can't touch me
say what you want
but you'll always want me
tie me up and crucify me
but I'll always be your savoir
if you never loved her,
you could never hate her
I watched you rip apart
our life we built together
I watched you take my heart
and swallow it like spit
I watched you run away
I never liked the chase
I watched myself die
so you could live a lie

Let your pride be a wall
That keeps you from the one you love
Let your anger be a noose
Just wait until the bottom falls out
Let your fear be a blanket
That covers you in that hot mess
Let your ego be the bouncer
That keeps every feeling out
Let your age be the excuse
For you to act the way that you do
Look at me like you love me
And speak to me like you hate me
I don't care...
I'm so done...
Let it go baby
Let it go
Let your rebound be a distraction
From that fact you'll always miss me
Let your words be the nails
That bury you in that dark place
Let your shallowness be your playground
That keeps you from going off the deep end
Let your regret burn like a fire
That you try to put out with my tears
Let your selfishness be the drug
That takes you away from the real world
Let your mistakes be habits
That keep playing like a hot track
Look at me like you love me
And speak to me like you hate me
I don't care...
I'm so done...
Let it go baby
Let it go
Let your secrets be your disguise
So one knows who really are
Let your past be the cage
That you spend the rest of your life in
Let your spine melt away like ice
Tell me how you can look me in the eye

I knew it was close to the end of the world
I saw the fire in the sky, felt it in my bones
I felt myself being judged for all my sins
you were a devil, with an angels wings

we are never gonna see eye to eye
your always looking down on me
I'm always looking up to you

I always knew that you were the knife
so sharp, so cold, never turn my back on you
I felt you slipping under my skin
no pressure applied, effortlessly cutting me
into a million pieces

I knew the battle was lost long ago
ran out of ammunition, a cause to believe in
I caught myself surrendering
swallowed my pride, got on my knees

you were never really gonna change
you're like a shapeshifter,
you always go back to the way you were

I always knew that you were the knife
so sharp, so cold, never turn my back on you
I felt you slipping under my skin
no pressure applied, effortlessly cutting me
into a million pieces
