Yolanda Be Cool

Well I watched the years decay in front of me
And as we fell I counted all the times I couldn't breathe
I'd forever want my lips to move
But they lay silent as I sank
As I try to string a sentence out
I slur the truth until it sounds a lie

Just tell the world that it can wait
I'll tell the world to do the same
This is what holds me under
But I'll watch you fall

So I'll say goodbye to these broken dreams
Cause' I've found a place they'll forgive me
For the way that I am
I swear you'll say,
Since I walked away,
Not a day goes by where you'd forget me
Just the way that I am

You say you never did me wrong
I never learnt from my mistakes
So that was the last time that I could ever believe in
Every word you say

So here
Lies a shell
So far you couldn't tell
And the world will only know
The side that let this whole thing go
Do you feel your heart is losing track
I am never coming back
I'd rather take my chance alone than take
Another chance on you ever again

For every single minute you were holding me back
And every single memory I faded to black
I've learnt from our mistakes
And I hope that after everything you look at yourself
And you never choose to act this way with somebody else
I know that I won't make
Make the same mistakes
