lyrics
LYRICS
You don't know me at all,
But neither of us care to find out what's going on.
You don't get it,
You don't get it,
No, you're not playing fair.
I'm supposed to hurt you,
And you're supposed to care.
'Cause that's always how it worked
But with the roles reversed and
Just this once I don't want to be beaten.
I only meant to lift you higher,
But like the rest
You're just another petty liar.
So write your letters,
Send your cares,
You were never really there.
If I had the chance to burn you
I would light myself on fire
Just in hopes that you'd regret this.
I know I'll regret writing this song.
So will I end up living just like you,
Always pretending that nothing's wrong?
You can't break me down
And expect it not to hurt.
You can't stand me back up
And expect me to trust
You won't throw me back in the dirt.
How am I supposed to trust
That anything you say is true?
I'm entitled to the right to want nothing to do with you.
I only meant to lift you higher,
But like the rest
You're just another petty liar.
So write your letters,
Send your cares,
You were never really there.
If I had the chance to burn you
I would light myself on fire
Just in hopes that you'd regret this.
(If you had the chance)
You'd put me on that stake.
(If you had the chance)
I would go down in flames.
(If you had the chance)
You'd put me on that stake.
(If you had the chance)
I would go down in flames.
I only meant to lift you higher....
I only meant to lift you higher,
But like the rest
You're just another petty liar.
So write your letters,
Send your cares,
You were never really there.
If I had the chance to burn you
I would light myself...
I'd never burn you!
I only meant to lift you higher,
(Not who I thought you'd be)
But like the rest
You're just another petty liar.
(Is something wrong with me?)
So write your letters,
Send your cares,
You were never really there.
If I had the chance to burn you
I would light myself on fire
Just in hopes that you'd regret this.
