If I'm being honest
Honestly you're nothing more than wasted lines
If I'm being selfish
Selfishly you left me waiting every time
And I don't know how much more of this I can take
Pick me up off the ground there's nothing left to say
Paint me out of your pictures
And go our separate ways
I'll carve you out of my memories
Just so I'll be okay
And if I said I'm sorry
Would you stay away
(Just stay away from me)
(Just stay away from me)
Take it back, just take it back
Your words are echoing again
I've heard you say it once
But now I'm thinking twice before I let you in
Just relax, I can't relax
It's hard to breathe
My lungs give in
(Into these thoughts
That I can't fucking win)
And I don't know how much more of this I can take
Pick me up off the ground there's nothing left to say
Paint me out of your pictures
And go our separate ways
I'll carve you out of my memories
Just so I'll be okay
And if I said I'm sorry
Would you stay away
You're meaning less to me than everything I want to be
You've shown I'm lower on your list than all your apathy
I'm sick of screaming out my lungs when you won't listen to me
But now you're taking all my pride
just fucking bury me
(Just fucking bury me)
If I'm helpless
Then you're selfish
(Why does this make me nervous?)
