fatal flaw

The day after tomorrow,
When the street lights come on,
I'll sit by the window
In the lamplight, you'll be gone
And I've never been good at telling lies
But I told you I wouldn't miss you
Even though I'm the one who
Called the cops to escort you
To the county jail,
I'll probably pay your bail
Then I'll regret it
Once I come to my senses
And I'll send you off again
But cry 'cause it's for the best
Once I saw the fatal flaw
The chains no longer worked
I drew my bow and two arrows,
I stuck one in the dirt
I shot the other in the sky
And got the cloud dead in the eye
As it rained down on me I cried
"What a poetic way to die"
Once I saw the fatal flaw
The chains no longer worked
I drew my bow and two arrows,
I stuck one in the dirt
I shot the other in the sky
And got the cloud dead in the eye
As it rained down on me I cried
"What a poetic way to die"
I had Stockholm syndrome
Now I'm self-aware and
There's blood on the path
That I thought was barren
The knife in my back
Doesn't feel that fair anymore
And I'm not naïve like before
