lyrics

You held your cards just as close as you can so no one can take a look at your hand
But you shuffled up the plan
To where we don't know where we stand, but it's too late to make amends so stay on your side of the fence

Well I got the taste that I wanted spit it up with my lungs I'm coughing up blood and all the secrets that should never have been told a happy life split at the seems there's no such thing as chasing dreams didn't anyone ever teach you that there's no "I" in team

I'll bury my head in my hands to take away the pain of your desertion and the storm you left the night you escaped
You swore that you made up your mind this time
But won't take the blame for your mistakes that you claimed were mine

I hope you're happy with the risks you didn't take,
you set fire to the world i tried so hard to create

Headlights burning holes through skulls I wish I never lost control of this world I swore i'd own just to give you to hold you threw it back in my face and said you didn't feel the same the burns the breaks and dumb mistakes I wish I never felt this way
