Lyrics
first verse:
i'm sorry that i fell asleep.
and missed the secrets that you keep.
i didn't hear it ring.
i'm sorry that i couldn't be
there with you or here with me.
and you express expressively:
"it doesn't mean a thing."
but i see you playing in the bar.
and they obsess like you're a star.
we still drive in separate cars
towards separate destinies.
i see you fucking 'round with fate.
and when i ask/you say you're "great."
if you're the flood/then i'm the gate.
but who's holding me?
first chorus:
don't hurt me/i'll hurt you, too.
god, i love you/more than i thought i could.
you've burned me once or twice before/i've met my match.
and god, i'm smashed/you don't, you don't/but, oh, you should.
second verse:
i'm sorry that you hit your head.
this greeting card is made of lead.
you chose amnesia instead
of choosing love or fear.
they see you fucking 'round with me.
and want a taste of what could be.
your flavor fades unfavorably.
it's not crisp or clear.
first chorus.
second chorus:
you take me/and break me down.
and you're the sound/that i'd die to hear.
don't shake me/i fall for you.
and always do/the way you fall for fear.
first and second chorus.
