lyrics

Oh yeah, I bet that victory taste nice,
Lick your fork clean got blood on your steak knife
You acting so mean tell me why can’t you act nice
I try to bridge the gap and you picking a fight
Things heat up so quick and I think my head might
Explode, unload, control
Is not something I have so I better go
You show your teeth and you dig beneath
It feels so good that you coming clean
Yeah show the bone and let it bleed
You talking so free so let it be
The truth is, I’m halfway sorry
But still pissed off, oh my god please
Stop talking you say the same thing
Always my fault I’m who’s to blame see
Say one thing and all I get is grief
I’m not quite sure what you want to achieve
Every day the same problem repeats
It’s been 4 years and I can’t seem to breathe
Oh what’s that stuck in your teeth
I think that’s just a piece of me

In the strain of attention I don't know what to do
tryin' to catch your eye
Feel restrained, I can't feel my thighs
you've not touched me there
you've denied me that right

The cutting the cursing, keeps getting worse when
You stepped over the god damned line
You wanna call it quits well that’s just fine
It seems no matter how hard I try
Whatever I do you don’t seem to like
I’m so tired I’m losing my mind
My hands are thrown up I wanna be kind
I can’t seem to win so ima give it some time
Take a step back and try to unwind
Words are traps which I’m confined
Looking for a sign hoping for a truce
Just because you think you’re right does make it the truth
Is this eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth
You cut me so I cut you too,
We’re both hurt, do we need to show proof
Scar tissue should give us a clue
It’s become clear, we got different views
Our words are weapons that we so often use
At the end of the day we’re broken and bruised
So many ways to hurt so what will I choose

In the strain of attention I don't know what to do
tryin' to catch your eye
Feel restrained, I can't feel my thighs
you've not touched me there
you've denied me that right
