Who are you kidding?
You'll never be anything compared to me.

Who are you trying to impress?
I see right through you.

Nobody is listening,
Not anymore.

I could say a million words and no one would hear.
I could scream at the top of my lungs and no one would come running.

This place is poisoning your mind
And I can tell.

The background is full,
With notes of music and suicide alike.

The song they played at our wedding
Mixed with your cries for help
Your final plea for attention, you whore

In hindsight, I suppose I could've stopped you.
If only I'd been here sooner, If only I'd answered my phone when you called.

But let's not lie, let's not cheat ourselves of the truth.
I am better off now, and so are you.

I used to see a light in your eyes like no other,
Now all I see is the lifeless image of the person I once was,
Lying there with the person who used to hold me prisoner.

I don't feel bad. Forgive me.
I feel relieved. Forgive me.
I feel free, finally. Forgive me.

Pardon me, I don't mean to stare.
It's just that, for once, I have the courage to slap you for your selfishness
And you wouldn't even feel it

I never thought you would do this,
You didn't have the guts.
Plus, you liked the attention too much.

Must've been her idea.
There's a harvest each saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And i don't feel like singing tonight
All the same songs

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?
