Lyrics

In the dark with the music on
Wishing I was somewhere else
Taking all your anger out on me (Somebody help)
I would rather rot alone
Than spend a minute with you
I'm gone, I'm gone
And you can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault
How could you, how could you, how could you hate me
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?
Open wounds
Downstairs the enemy sleeps
Leaving the TV on
Watching all the dreams we had turn into static (Static)
Doesn't matter what I do
Nothing's gonna change
I'm never good enough
And you can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault
How could you, how could you, how could you hate me
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?
Tell me why you broke me down and betrayed my trust in you
I'm not giving up, giving in
When will this war end?
When will it end?
You can't stop me from falling apart
You can't stop me from falling apart
You can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault
How could you, how could you, how could you hate me
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?
How could you, how could you
How could you, how could you
All I ever wanted to be was you
All you ever gave me were open wounds
