Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ain't that the way it always starts?

A simple round of conversation

Became a shameful equation

I flipped you station to station

[Verse 2]

Hey, don't go and turn the other way

Don't say there's nothin' more to say

Come on, hear me out

Hush, hush, settle down

Button up, don't make a sound

Shame, shame, go away

Come again some other day

[Verse 3]

You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up

[Verse 4]

You are not me

Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army?

Arlandria, Arlandria

Oh God, you gotta make it stop

[Verse 5]

Chase all of those memories away

Save them all for another day

Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you?

[Verse 6]

Wait

I wanna see if you can change

I wanna keep all I can take

I feel much better now

Use me up, spit me out

Let me be your hand-me-down

Fame, fame, go away

Come again some other day

[Verse 7]

You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up

[Verse 8]

You are not me

Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army?

Arlandria, Arlandria

Oh, God, you gotta make it stop

[Verse 9]

My sweet Virginia

I'm the same as I was in your arm

My sweet Virginia

I'm the same as I was in your arm

[Verse 10]

Shame, shame, go away

Come again some other day

Memories keep haunting me

Help me chase them all away

[Verse 11]

Hush now, settle down

Button up, don't make a sound

Close your eyes, turn around

Help me burn this to the ground

[Verse 12]

Come now, take the blame

That's okay, I'll play the game

I don't care, it's all the same

Watch it all go up in flames

[Verse 13]

Use me up, spit me out

Let me be your hand-me-down

Fame, fame, go away

Come again some other day

[Verse 14]

You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up

[Verse 15]

You are not me

Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army?

Arlandria, Arlandria

Oh God, you gotta make it stop

[Verse 16]

My sweet Virginia

Oh God, you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia

Oh God, you gotta make it stop
