Lyrics
This isn?t the time or place
to tell you that I love you, so I won?t
you?ll go on days and hours
just assuming that I don?t
these games you play
these games you play are quite peculiar
when I participate, these games are tearing me apart
ooh, I could stay here for a thousand years
wrapped up in guilt and isolation
but instead I think I?ll leave here, dear
and leave behind this desperate desolation
You hurl obscenities
in the form of a word, a stick or a stone
you don?t even realize
it?s your own insecurity you?ve shown
these rules you make
these rules you make are quite peculiar
the love you fake will never break me down
ooh, I could stay here for a thousand years
wrapped up in fear and degradation
but instead I?ll run screaming from here
and leave behind this desperate desolation
In my world, I learned to believe
In your world, I learned to deceive
ooh, I could stay here for a thousand years
wrapped up in fear and degradation
but instead I think I?ll leave here, dear
and leave behind this desperate desolation
backward, forward, never in the middle
lost it, I?m out of control
