I should've known that this was doomed from the start
I should've known you were just playing a part
But you went and wormed your way right into my heart
And now that I'm stuck, I can't pull myself apart from you
You say you love me but I know that this ain't love
You get drunk, you start to scream and every word you say to me is meant to hurt me
You know you don't deserve me
But still I hold you tight despite the way you do me dirty
You know you're wrong, but you still say you're right
You wear me down so I won't put up a fight
You voice is thunder and your words are lightning
So when you strike, I take it all in silence
Call me your lightning rod
I'll take all of the blame like it's my fault
I'll take the fall for all your pain
I won't complain, I'm yours to burn
Kill me slowly with your words
I'm absorbing all your hurt
I can take it, do your worst
Strike me down like I deserve
I just been feeling so difficult
You're flipping your answers reciprocals
This shit is so you, it is so typical
I'm so original, I'm so obsessed
You are so literal, doin' my best
It's never enough, you shout and protest
But you never see me when I am progressin'
You never say shit and I'm learning my lesson
I'm trying to fight but it just isn't worth it
Give me a sign that I'm not the burden
Shit
Am I the burden?
And I'm sick of learning all this life shit
Like I never been right, shit
Like I'm trying and trying and always my best
May as well just forget it, I'm losing my patience
I'm picking my sweater, I'm starting to fray it
I'm getting more stressed and I'm moving away
I am more distant from me by the day
I am more distant from me by the day, aye
(It's Box Head)
I endure the storms you bring
Cause you mean so much to me
Even though you're hurting me
I know that I can't change a thing
Electrify me to my veins
Make me feel like I'm insane
All you do is cause me pain
And I'm always the one to blame
Call me your lightning rod
I'll take all of the blame like it's my fault
I'll take the fall for all your pain
I won't complain, I'm yours to burn
Kill me slowly with your words
I'm absorbing all your hurt
I can take it, do your worst
Strike me down like I deserve
