Faint

Oh, you know me, I'm a killer

I let feelings come and go

I said I'd let you in, but you figured

I might be doing this all for show

And I'm surely not the first one

And I'm surely not the last

To be bringing the best ones right down with me

And letting love fall through the cracks

But I knew you could be cruel

I knew you could be faint

And I knew all of us would lie bleeding in your wake

But I'll find a record now

To make sense of it all, somehow

I knew you could be faint

Oh, you knew me in the winter

Taking our coats off at the door

I'd hope and you'd watch me, I brought you a present

I'd never done that before

And I'm surely not the first one

And I'm surely not the last

To come crawling out the wreckage

Feeling sorry I ever asked

But I knew you could be cruel

I knew you could be faint

And I knew all of us would lie bleeding in your wake

But I'll find a record now

To make sense of it all, somehow

I knew you could be faint

I'm battered on the outside

With bruises that won't heal

I'd rather be your bright side

Than leave your heart to steal
