lyrics

There you said it
So it's over now
Trapped, trialed, and sentenced by your own mouth
If I could just impart to you
One thing I've learned
Is that the end will come in a form of love unreturned
You think that I've never been in your situation
But don't stare like I haven't babe cause I've been

So put it in your pocket
Or write it down
Sever, save, and sing it when no one's around
Sketch and scribble out it's the way you feel
Then saw it off and sell it for a single bill
So this is no different than what you've heard before
Common code of accusations and metaphor
So when asked if I had anything to say to her
Well you better take a seat my dear
Cause I've been saving

So there's something in my voice now
Be it tear or terror
Serves as both a message and the courier
I have abandoned everything I've learned
Cause I'll be weeping when it all kicks in
For what we were
You know good luck it ain't nothing but an angel's choice
You know good luck it makes nothing but brittle boys
So the lines on my face they are disdained from joy
Cause I'm finally overflowing now
Cause I've been saving up
