I know you're up to something
So don't say it nothing
I try not to be paranoid on my own
But I check over my shoulder while I'm on my phone
You would understand if you were in my place
Trying to avoid a metaphorical punch to my face
Cause everything you're involved in
I end up with a bigger problem than I started with
If you can't get over this
I'll take my chances I'll burn another bridge
Well if it's a fight you want
It's a fight you're gonna get
I won't let this happen
Cause now I'm sadder but wiser
Don't you mistake my kindness for weakness
I won't let this happen again
Cause now I'm sadder but wiser
I don't know what you'd expect to get out of this
This isn't a movie there's no written script
I don't see a true hero in myself
But you play the part of the villain very well
The way that you plot people on your games
And blame everyone else for your mistake
You're course and you're vain
You're the storm giving way
To the wind at my back telling me to walk away
If you an't get over this
I'll take my chances I'll burn another bridge
Well if it's a fight you want
It's a fight you're gonna get
I won't let this happen again
Cause now I'm sadder but wiser
Drowning in a river full of your mistakes
Cause you thought by dropping me you dropped your dead weight
Now I'm swept ashore watching your ship sink
If you'd open up your eyes then I'm sure you'd see
Drowning in a river full of your mistakes
Cause you thought by dropping me you dropped your dead weight
Now I'm swept ashore watching your ship sink
And you're not the only one
This hurts me more than you think

Every single word
That you said stuck in my head
And I’ve been trying not to mope
I’m just still stuck in my bed
It’s like my body’s given up and I’ve accepted defeat
It’s like I can’t get out these covers
Your scent stuck to my sheets
And now i keep falling asleep
Yeah I keep falling asleep
It’s like I’ve just seen a ghost
And now you’re calling to me
And I can still hear your voice
It’s like a haunting scream
I see you in my head
And you’re in all of my dreams
Now I’m trying not to blink
I just keep falling asleep
Now I keep falling asleep
Now I keep falling asleep
I see you in my head
And you’re in all of my dreams
And now I’m trying not to blink
I just keep falling asleep
Now I keep falling asleep
Now I keep falling asleep
Now I am falling asleep

I'm just hoping for a better day
Where I could stray far away from this place
I can't help it
Can't take it no more
I'm just bored
Of the same old things
Tried to make it on my own and
I walked straight out the door
But with my head held too high
I fell straight on the floor
I know that I am meant
For bigger things than this
I never thought I'd be
The smaller of the fish
Though I'd find a way
To transcend time and space
Punch me in my teeth
I just never thought I'd bleed
I'm just hoping for a better day
Where I could stray far away from this place
I can't help it
Can't take it no more
I'm just bored
Of the same old things
I tried to make it on my own and
I walked straight out the door
But with my head held too high
I fell straight on the floor

I woke up today
The room smelled like lavender
I could almost swear you were just here
Brushing your hair in the mirror
Its been months
Who am I kidding
For what's it's worth
I know it's late
But I can offer an apology
When I layed to sleep
The room reeked of me
I woke up today
The room smelled like lavender it made me even sadder cause
I knew that you were gone
And I'm sorry
Yeah I'm sorry
I can admit
I've made some mistakes
I think that with time
I've come to change
I can admit
I've made some mistakes
I think that with time
I've come to change
I can admit
I've made some mistakes
I've lived and I've learned
But can't turn the page
Can't turn the page
I woke up today
And I found myself a scavenger
Smelling all the things you left
Behind to find your scent again
I'm sorry
Yeah I'm sorry

You could count me out for this round
I never said I'd take this lying down
It's getting old just telling myself
I was ever considered for any of this
Is there hot air in my head
Lifting me up off the ground
Or is it the surface below me
Inching away slowly but surely
I think it's time you guess again
If you consider us still friends
Not like a cut you could fix with a bandage
I thought we were friends but you took advantage
I'm cutting my ties cause you were just damaging me
It wasn't
A goodbye
When I said
I'm leaving
Now you act
Like I'm dead
So fuck you
We're even
It wasn't
A goodbye
When I said
I'm leaving
Now you act
Like I'm dead
So fuck you
We're even
So sorry that we couldn't
See this through my friend
Distance is the only means
To this end
Cut the ties and
Shut the door and
Switch directions
I wasn't sure then
If we could have seen this coming
Would we make different choices
I think it's time you guess again
If you consider us still friends
Not like a cut you could fix with a bandage
I thought we were friends but you took advantage
I'm cutting my ties cause you were just damaging me
It wasn't
A goodbye
When I said
I'm leaving
Now you act
Like I'm dead
So fuck you
We're even
It wasn't
A goodbye
When I said
I'm leaving
Now you act
Like I'm dead
So fuck you
We're even
I wish you goodluck
Goodbye

So now I'm gone
To you I am a ghost
You read your eulogy
And buried me like months ago Remember when we were such good friends
You couldn't find a picture of me you weren't in
Now Im just
Coldly confirming a fake
Friend's all I've had as of late
But now I
I'm tired
Of trying
To make excuses
Hoping you will change
I'm sorry
But I'm done
Feeling stupid
Hoping you will change
I don't deserve
I haven't heard a word
And I haven't seen your face Since what must have been like months ago
You got your space
And another group to play
And a new circle of best friends
That's not including me
All this is
Coldly confirming a fake Friend's all I've had as of late
But now I
I'm tired
Of trying
To make excuses
Hoping you will change
I'm sorry
But I'm done
Feeling stupid
Hoping you will change
I'm just hoping you will change
I'm just hoping you will change
