lyrics

Well I’m clenching my teeth. I don’t get any sleep.
I’m driven by thing things that could have happened.
So I start acting tough. Living without love.
Put me close the fire in a leather jacket.
Well you know to stay away from. Unless you wanna pick a fight.
Get away from me. Keep me outta line of sight.
Well I got the bends from all this make pretend.
It's one step forward, two backwards when I disrespect it.
So I bite my tongue. My mouth fills with blood.
Spitting out all my teeth, is this what you wanted?
Well you know I wouldn’t hurt a fly. Everything I say’s a lie.
I’m trying to rectify the things that I couldn't get right.
I don’t know what to say. Et Tu Brute?
The words you stuck in me were verbal daggers.
The smile on your face. It doesn’t hold any trace.
I’m going out of my mind. Did it really happen?
