lyrics

If every self-defeating lie I've ever told myself were true in your eyes,
I wouldn't be surprised
And to this day and I can't see why you'd throw away all we had,
out of spite, to prove your feelings died

Shut me off
Cut this feeling short
Watch it slowly fade
Just like you shut off on me

You've got a life that everybody wants to lead
You've got the knife, now everybody wants to bleed
Sharpen it twice, dull as your personality
But tell me again, am I taking it too far?

You've gotta lie, it's part of your philosophy
You've gotta hide the things that everyone can see
Left me to die, so much for a comradery
Too little, too late if I'm taking it too far.

Shut me off
Cut this feeling short
Watch it slowly fade
Just like you shut off on me
Shut me off
Fuck me over
And don't look back this time
Cuz you know you shut off on me

There's no more words to waste on you
With nothing left to prove, we've hit an ending that's long overdue
So live your life and I'll live mine, turns out I'm better off
And to this day you're long gone from my mind.
