Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just wanna be done with you faking
For the taking but I'm wicked
Up to the fact that you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic
It's just sick
It's just sick
[Verse 2]
Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
[Verse 3]
Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done
And you've broken the notion of trust
'Cause you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic
It's just sick
It's just sick
[Verse 4]
Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
[Verse 5]
Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done
All the damage, done
All the damage, done
[Verse 6]
Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
[Verse 7]
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
Force my hand when my eyes are wide open
You're lying and denying, it's just sick
You're lying and denying, it's just sick
It's just sick
