Flesh Wound

Yellow basket all trendy-like That was the last time I got it right 'Cause you were long gone By the time the candles were on the cake From that moment on, Everything else was politely Fake ... Headlights were lighting up the freeway No one knows what you said to me and You squeezed my hand back when it meant something Now you refuse to take it and stopped pretending And you got it off your chest For honesty's sake 'Cause it was killing you but now you're Wide awake Shouldn't have hurt this bad should've just left a scratch It should've been a flesh wound Something band-aids can fix someone I won't miss But it cut me through and through You walked to her shamelessly Biting your thumb at me Smile for the camera but don't be surprised When your so-called "friends" were never really on your side And they say "you won't care soon enough" But its so hard to forget when they won't shut up Shouldn't have hurt this bad should've just left a scratch It should've been a flesh wound Something band-aids can fix someone I won't miss But it cut me through and through ... You broke my bones It cut through my heart Supposed to only leave a scratch But you tore me apart I memorized the rhythm of your heartbeat And when you're nervous the way you breathe Streetlights all blurry from the smoke in my eyes X marks the spot where you switched to the other side And I wish this was something I could walk away from But its still a fatal blow when all is said and done Shouldn't have hurt this bad should've just left a scratch It should've been a flesh wound Something band-aids can fix someone I won't miss But darling it wasn't just you Who did some permanent damage, baby And you didn't even try to save me Didn't even try Didn't even try That was the last time I got it right
