lyrics

Tell me you’re sorry
Tell me it wasn’t intentional
Tell me my feelings don’t matter at all and I’m fine
Tell me about how things will be different
Tell me you’ll change everything to stay mine

Oh, put your walls up, try to knock mine down
I’m so distant now, you should’ve known
I’m a fighter but I don’t make a sound
I am dead on the ground because

I was blind to your guns aiming at me
You stood by me, stoic, watching me bleed
And I can’t believe that your eyes were dry

I was a fool, then
I should’ve known that a wedding ring only made arguments
sting that much worse in the night
Take all my time, then
Take all the money I have and use it to attend to my bride

Whatcha after?
If I don’t matter to you, peel out fast - I won’t follow you

Take it off, throw it down, walk away
Tell me how you’re gonna take your own life
“Love you, baby. Goodbye.”
I’ll be fine

Wish I knew from the start how you’d tear out my heart
Did you know you were lying?
Did you play the part to be mine?
I’ll be fine

Your hands haunt me, tell me what we could be
But your eyes prove to me you are not what I need
And I can’t believe that your eyes were dry
