I'm too apologetic now
and none of you will even know what I'm talking about
So I'll do this for myself
If I don't get forgiveness will I still go to hell
I'll take a trip to the South
fall in love with a girl that I've never met
The blood that spills from her mouth
spelled out words on the floor that she won't forget
This isn't about you
This isn't about you
So don't depend on me now
I always tried to fix what you couldn't miss
and there's too much to clean out
so let's shut our mouths and bury this again
This isn't about you
This isn't about you
Just because I wrote it doesn't make it true
So this isn't about you
This isn't about you
This isn't about you
Just because I wrote it doesn't make it true
So this isn't about you

The cicadas scream outside my bedroom and never let me sleep
and in the noise I hear your name and wonder if they sing for me
And all the books upon my shelf remind me of the words I smelt
so I can craft this blade of hopelessness and carve them on myself
So hold on I'm almost there
and I swear the pain is fleeting
All that I need is a little more time
if you can't give me that, I'll lay down to die so
Hold me down or I will drown
myself in all of these feelings
Don't let me go 'til I've made up my mind
I know you aren't the one
that made desire subside
Will you hear my song as I come undone and confess my sins on stage
and will the sentiment of all of this will it convince you to stay
And when you leave will you breathe easier knowing you won't be disturbed
Cause I will wait here for you patiently though I know you won't return
So hold on I'm almost there
and I swear the pain is fleeting
All that I need is a little more time
if you can't give me that, I'll lay down to die so
Hold me down or I will drown
myself in all of these feelings
Don't let me go 'til I've made up my mind
I know you aren't the one
that made desire subside

I don't want to leave and let that door stay open
But I'd rather take my shot than leave that gun unloaded
And if I miss it might be worth it though the windows cracked and broken
I'll still close that door behind me and walk home lonely sad and hopeless
I'm sorry that I never told you how I felt but that's just who I am
I know you're alright with whoever you've been seeing and I hope you understand
I try to mask my mind but I know I'm not fooling anyone
Besides I think that everything I've ever said is overdone
I'm sorry that I never told you how I felt but that's just who I am
I know you're alright with whoever you've been seeing and I hope you understand
I wish I didn't know what happened next
You were the picture perfect model but I couldn't be your lens
I'm sorry that I never told you how I felt but that's just who I am
I know you're alright with whoever you've been seeing and I hope you understand
That I sensed the love that you did every night we were together and I held your hand
But I'll be gone for good and you will still be happy so I guess this is the end
So I guess this is the end

Are You Gonna Survive?

I will love you now forever
as soon as lovers cease to be
And if I make you feel hopeless
then you do the same to me
I'll save you from the constant headache
That you seemed too numb to from the start
And in my failed attempt to save you
I tore us both apart
I never thought the words that I spoke
would come to torment me today
Well I only said I loved you
because there was no other way
To save you from the constant headache
That you seemed too numb to from the start
And in my failed attempt to save you
I tore us both apart
