If I stomach my discomfort
If I forfeit what I've longed for
If I kiss you for too long
Then that's the thing that I'll be known for

If I choose between my body
And my sulfur-poisoned soul
Then all I'll see's that there's no fun
In fucking someone, going home alone

So won't you shatter me
Devastate the world I live in
I'm an island on your sea
You're obstructing all my breathing

Take what you want
But don't you break what you leave
It's fake but it's fine
It's a tale as old as time
It's a tale as old as getting what you give
You're only getting what you give

And your mother told my mother
I was turning into trouble
Why do they believe that
Cutting me in half will make them double?

There's a little contradiction there
A fact inside your fiction
And your brazen crucifixion of yourself
You're not a victim, babe

So won't you shatter me
Devastate the world I live in
I'm an island on your sea
You're obstructing all my breathing

Take what you want
But don't you break what you leave
It's fake but it's fine
It's a tale as old as time
It's a tale as old as getting what you give
Take what you want
But don't you break what you leave
It's fake but it's fine
It's a tale as old as time
It's a tale as old as getting what you give
You're only getting what you give
You're only getting what you give
You're only getting what you
