Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold your tongue
It doesn't own you
Or does it by default
You can't pretend that it's not weighing you down
Or that you really even want me around because you don't
I know that burdens are a girl's best friend
In the end, you'd give it up for the weekend
[Verse 2]
You don't even want me around
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
We can't look at you, you're not the same
I keep thinking, you use your brain
Already threw it away
Don't give a fuck what we say
Already threw it away, already threw it away, oh no
[Verse 3]
Learn to hold your tongue, it doesn't own you
You can go, but I might stay
Yeah, I noticed that you're so bored, but I'm okay
It's not a problem for me, is it a problem for you, hope not
And if you're asking me to stick around, then why is that
When we separate, you keep holding on an on
Oh, but not for long, not for long
[Verse 4]
Aside from all the points turning thoughts into sickness
All my stupid blind ambitions never fit inside your vision
Maybe so, I don't know
Sure, I could've made it work
Been the necessary jerk, like you wanted me to be
Aside from all the points turning thoughts into sickness
All my stupid blind ambitions never fit inside your vision
Maybe so, I don't know
Sure, I could've made it work
Been the necessary jerk like you wanted me to be
[Verse 5]
Aside from all the points turning thoughts into sickness
All my stupid blind ambitions never fit inside your vision
Maybe so, I don't know
Sure, I could've made it work
Been the necessary jerk like you wanted me to be
[Verse 6]
Aside from all the rest
There's a sickness in my thoughts where the twist to every plot is
What I think I am, I'm not, maybe so, I don't know
I could never make it work, but I sure could make it hurt
Do you want this from me, and as you may recall
I never signed a thing at all
You just started your addiction
I just started my withdrawal
It seems to me the suit I wear is too tight at the neck
But the tailor that is vanity is sure it fits me best
[Verse 7]
It's not a flattering color on me but I wear it always
Because my skin's been sold, it's always cold
And all my methods seem too damn old
I should've folded a long time ago
[Verse 8]
I came in thinking I'd know exactly what my part is
Know all of the lines because I'd authored all the hardest
But I didn't have the will, so I don't know why I started
These empty ribs still have no room to fit a proper heart in
So if all you want are flowers, just plant yourself a garden
Don't rely on ME
[Verse 9]
Quit calling me to remind me
I have many ways to remember all those things
And even now I cling to them, it's sad
I know it's hard, but I swear it gets easier
It just takes distraction and time
Why, I can't tell if I'm undeservedly given to
When why I'm deservedly giving what's mine
