Tell me your stories, of all the ways you'll change
You make them all up, reading off of a blank page
Oh the ink you'd waste, if you wrote down what you would say
I'll just sit here in silence as you're begging me to stay
Oh for heaven's sake, can you not tell the truth?
I imagine if you did your tongue would not know what to do
With itself as it falls onto the floor
Tangled into knots until it can speak no more
I may not have your heart, but I will always have my friends
They've got my backup when I'm just too weak to stand
From the damage I've sustained, it's all temporary
Pick me up and help me start again (Again!)
What will it take for you to act your fucking age?
I wish I knew all the years that I would waste
I would have kicked you to the curb just a little earlier
Well if hindsight is 20/20 then the rest is just a blur
Over time if there's one thing that you burned into my brain
It's that I am nothing special and can always be replaced
But so can you, that's the reason you convinced me of this too
I'll just keep on walking until I'm far away from you
I may not have your heart, but I will always have my friends
They've got my backup when I'm just too weak to stand
From the damage I've sustained, it's all temporary
Pick me up and help me start again (Again!)
I want you, I don't need you
Don't ask me to stay when you know that I can't
I loved you, I won't miss you
Don't tell me you'll change when I know that you can't
I may not have your heart
(Oh what a shame)
But I will always have my friends
(Your eyes don' look the same)
They've got my backup
(They put the sun to shame)
When I'm just too weak to stand
(Burning everything in sight)
