Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I brought you light
But you'd rather live in the dark
We always fight
Don't even know what is the cause
Still askin',"Why?"
Fuck it, babe, what is the point?
You're feedin' me lies
And I'm tired of playin' the part
You broke me down
I'm nothin' but marrow and bone
Rot to the core
Chewed up and spit on the floor
I'm leaving now
Can't take this shit anymore
And if you're holdin' me down
Then why am I outta control?
[Verse 2]
(It's our oldest, deadliest impulse)
(The need to protect our own)
(At the expense of any other living thing)
(And we give that impulse such a nice name, don't we?)
[Verse 3]
You brought me light
But I'd rather live in the dark
It's my own fault
That everything's fallin' apart
And I know it's been hard
I'm sorry for what I have done
But baby, please don't leave
'Cause then I won't have anyone
You gave me love
But I just threw it away
I promise that I'm gonna change
'Cause baby, I need you to stay
I'm feelin' hollowed out
Tired of livin' this way
You have my heart
So baby, please don't walk away
[Verse 4]
Why can't you see
The heart on my sleeve?
You're tearin' me apart, babe
Losin' my sleep
Why can't you see
You're everything I need?
I'm losin' my mind, babe
I can't compete
[Verse 5]
I brought you light
But you'd rather live in the dark
We always fight
Don't even know what is the cause
Still askin', "Why?"
Fuck it, babe, what is the point?
You're feedin' me lies
And I'm tired of playin' the part
You broke me down
I'm nothin' but marrow and bone
Rot to the core
Chewed up and spit on the floor
I'm leaving now
Can't take this shit anymore
And if you're holdin' me down
Then why am I outta control?
[Verse 6]
You brought me light
But I'd rather live in the dark
It's my own fault
That everything's fallin' apart
And I know it's been hard
I'm sorry for what I have done
But baby, please don't leave
'Cause then I won't have anyone
You gave me love
But I just threw it away
I promise that I'm gonna change
'Cause baby, I need you to stay
I'm feelin' hollowed out
Tired of livin' this way
You have my heart
So baby, please don't walk away
