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
