Lyrics
The Tortured Type
Real love is staring you straight in your face
But you can’t see it
I've got your back, I swore to you I'd never stray
You don't believe it
You pull me in close, then push me away,
tell me ya miss me, miss me, when I’m gone
You’re afraid you’ll lose your grip on me
but refuse to hold on
Rise
Sometimes it seems you’re only thinking of yourself
So I can’t help but wonder, yeah, I wonder to
myself
Chorus
Maybe you like
Throwing your heart on that knife
you thrive on self pity, and your drama’s
a lie
and in your mind, you seem right at
home to me
so I wonder if it’s all because you wanna be
the tortured type
Verse 3
It's not you that’s holding you back,
It’s who you think you are
It’s not okay to ask for my help
Then brag about your scars
Rise
Sometimes it seems you’re only thinking of yourself
So I can’t help but wonder, yeah, I wonder to
myself
Chorus
Maybe you like
Throwing your heart on that knife
you thrive on self pity, and your drama’s
a lie
and in your mind, you seem right at
home to me
so I wonder if it’s all because............
Because you like
Throwing your heart on that knife
you thrive on self pity, and your drama’s
a lie
and in your mind, you seem right at
home to me
so I wonder if it’s all because
you wanna be the tortured type
bridge
This is all beginning to wear me down,
And there’s only so long I can care
Change won’t come overnight,
but you have to start somewhere…
Rise
Sometimes it seems you’re only thinking of yourself
So I can’t help but wonder, yeah, I wonder to
myself
Maybe you like throwing your heart on that knife
you thrive on self pity, and your drama’s a lie
and in your mind, you seem right at home to me
so I wonder if it’s all because, because, because.....
you like throwing your heart on that knife
you thrive on self pity, and your drama’s a lie
and in your mind, you seem right at home to me
so I wonder if it's all because
you wanna be the tortured type
