Lyrics

Such sappy words you gave me
Long lines of love poetry
When you spoke I could hardly breathe
But how could you live without the one night stands?
And how can you be faithful to a broken man?
I guess you were lying through your teeth

You said "No"
"I'm never gonna let you go"
But how was I supposed to know?
You had better plans
The candy jars and your sticky hands

CHORUS
You didn't care, you left me there
You based your life on a pillow fight
But when you live with apes, I guess it's kind of hard to stay clean
Through porcelain nights and velvet days
I was just a face on the pillowcase
You were only half way down on one knee

A thin line between you and sober
And when the night was over
It was all I could do just not to scream
And nobody wants to see into your mind
'Cause everything inside it is a goddamn lie
I never gave you this for free

I said why couldn't you have even tried?
To even open up your mind
I'd scorch you now
But an eye for an eye makes everyone blind

CHORUS

But I'll be dead before I let you take control

You kept on fucking when I said no more
Left me bleeding on the bathroom floor
But I'm not willing to be whore
And this is bullshit

You didn't care, you shoved me down
Hit my face and pushed me 'round
But I've grown to learn what really counts
I don't deserve this

So shove your shit on someone else
Let them sleep in my old cell
'Cause I've grown to learn to love myself
And I won't take this

CHORUS
