lyrics

She said
"I'm gonna miss the weight of the world around my neck"
But I know
That you'll never change despite what you've said
We burnt bridges just to break the ice
No matter what I try, the words never come out right
I'm one part lust and two parts envy
At least you know the better part of me

So tie your words to the weight around my neck
And don't look back as I fall in the deep end
You know I've got the worst intentions
So brace yourself for the consequences
All of this was such a waste of time
I hope you choke when you swallow your pride
Because nothing's fair in love and war
And I don't want to do this anymore

And if the pen outdraws the sword
I'd have you hanging on with every word
But I can't, and I don't, and I wont
Do this anymore
So sink or swim
Don't you know timing is everything
But every time I try and fail
You drag me down again
