lyrics

Lend me your attention, and I'll tell you how this ends
Worn out cliches and a played out trend
A love song composed and conducted by a liar
Who's disguised in ecclesiastical attire

Place on the backburner
I was there when he came
You love me, you left me
I'll be there when he leaves

I warned you not to come back
For solitary comfort
Words are arbitrary, imaginary,
Lover now forever slumber

Don't treat me like a relapse

It's just a song my own relapse to a dependency
So I'll apologize ahead of time for
Stanzas I don't mean, It's such a travesty
You call yourself my friend yet where have you been?

Where were you? Where are you?
Stand up and be there
Where were you? Where are you?

So when you're on your knees I hope you're thinking of me
And again when eating the fruit of the poisoned tree
Take the consequences in, as your regret bleeds
From who he'll never amount to be

I'll make you say you missed your chance

And you said you'd keep your legs shut
But do us all a favor
Make it your mouth

I'm trying To turn this pain
Into a passion
As you're lying
Turning a passion into a play

When your short story reaches it's tragic end
I'll be reliving it time and time again

So let us apologize ahead of time
For stanzas we don't mean

But it's such a fucking travesty
It's just a song
We're just a sad song
