bruise my face
Memories flow into my head
All the things I wish I never said
Has it been so long?
Or am I too gone?
Put me up on that pedestal
Too afraid how far I would fall
Was I too naive?
To think I could be
The one you need, the one you long for
The one who fixes all your problems
It's not my job, it's not my place
To take your hits and bruise my face
Don't say you swear
When you know you'll fail
Falling apart past what I could start to heal
Maybe it's not the thing that you'd want to hear
I know I said
I'd stay, but that's
Before all the heartache and all I put you through
Maybe your thought of me was more than I thought I gave you
Take a breath, know you didn't mean
Anything when you said to me
"Is it not your fault
For what we've become?"
I always break down
And call your name
So you can talk down
On all I say
Because it's not how
It should've been
Signin' up for someone who ain't me
Through all my virtues, all my vices
You say you need them, tell me why, then
You pick and choose, and leave behind
The ones that made me who I was
Don't say you swear
When you know you'll fail
Falling apart past what I could start to heal
Maybe it's not the thing that you'd want to hear
I know I said
I'd stay, but that's
Before all the heartache and all I put you through
Maybe your thought of me was more than I thought I gave you
No more asking me for one more night
Know it'll hurt if we don't draw that line
No, we can't make it past the tears we fight
Please, girl, don't ask again for one more night
You know one more night'll turn to one more year
Can't say I'll help against the things you fear
Can't say the feelings now won't disappear
Can't say the things you say you need to hear
Don't say you swear
When you know you'll fail
Falling apart past what I could start to heal
Maybe it's not the thing that you'd want to hear
I know I said
I'd stay, but that's
Before all the heartache and all I put you through
Maybe your thought of me was more than I thought I gave you
All the things I wish I never said
Has it been so long?
Or am I too gone?
Put me up on that pedestal
Too afraid how far I would fall
Was I too naive?
To think I could be
The one you need, the one you long for
The one who fixes all your problems
It's not my job, it's not my place
To take your hits and bruise my face
Don't say you swear
When you know you'll fail
Falling apart past what I could start to heal
Maybe it's not the thing that you'd want to hear
I know I said
I'd stay, but that's
Before all the heartache and all I put you through
Maybe your thought of me was more than I thought I gave you
Take a breath, know you didn't mean

Before all the heartache and all I put you through
Maybe your thought of me was more than I thought I gave you
