You took my heart,
And stomped out its flame.
You sought to destroy,
Something you thought you could tame.

You think you're so tough,
You can't boss me around.
That voice torments me so,
Such a thundering sound.

I had once loved you,
My thoughts of you I cannot shake.
I felt in the pit of my soul what we had was true,
But now you just make my ticker ache.

You never told me how you felt
Or how much you had cared
You had complete control of the place where my heart once dwelt
Which no other person has ever shared

have you always cared for me?

of course I have, why wouldn't that be?

my heart's still yours and yours is mine.

just take my hand and it will all be fine...
I see we're falling into old habits
you don't want me, you just can have it
swore I'd never let you hurt me again
and here you are digging under my skin
please don't say you want to kiss me
please don't tell me how you miss me

so I'll do another bump
while you speak of love
that you claim doesn't exist
and I'll have another drink
while I try not to think
of all the things I miss

I won't fall again, no
I won't let you in, no
I won't pretend though
that we're just friends
so what do we do
when you can't let me go
and I can't let go of you?

I see the spark that almost burned me alive
and all I can say is that I'm not ready to die
I hate how you **** me away like the tide
no matter how far I come, I'm right by your side
I should be enjoying this role reversal
But I feel like before was just rehearsal

so I'll do another bump
while you speak of love
that you claim doesn't exist
and I'll have another drink
while I try not to think
of all the things I miss

I won't fall again, no
I won't let you in, no
I won't pretend though
that we're just friends
so what do we do
when you can't let me go
and I can't let go of you?

I know that this is the same game
that I'm so ******* tired of playing
it's the same words that betrayed me
maybe you love me as much as you hate me
