I had a feeling it was cracking and swallowing me whole from the start
(This town ain't big enough for both of us)
And maybe after all this time, I was destined to play your favorite part
But if I found it lying on the cold hard ground, would you know what to do
Or run around it and sell it for a lukewarm welcome with nothing to prove
But I guess it's my fault
And I guess i'm not the type to wanna walk this off
When it's always your call
Could you ever really put it to the side
With the offers flowing in
You got your chance, you got your win
It must be nice to be yourself
Inside thе corner that you're in
And I could nevеr wrap my head around
Why you're always so uptight when I come around
You don't really seem to get it when you're staring down
The barrel of the gun that you can't live without
Just cut me out
And I hope you find a reason
To take me this way when you don't know who I am
Maybe in another season
I'll be better without this all but for the time being
What's the meaning
It's getting so overbearing with all the screaming
And I don't think I'll be the one that breaks the ceiling any time soon
And I could never wrap my head around
The way it gets so exciting then you shut it down
Remembering everything before the lights go out
And all of these evil faces open up their mouths
They're getting too loud
♪
Talk about this way of life
Like I'm someone you need to be afraid of
Cauterize our wasted time
Just let this die
And I could never wrap my head around
How you keep yourself in check when it's crashing down
And we're losing our focus, succumbing to the doubts
That replayed inside our heads from the beginning out
But I finally get it now
♪
Was I supposed to stop you?
Was I supposed to stop you?
When we're waist deep in the wrong places
Could you break the bullet in my back
And take another shot at my ego
While I just grip my chest and laugh
And oh no, I must be such an egomaniac
To blow your cover and make it up with a panic attack
And oh well, I guess I never really knew the half
Keep on reconciling the present just to fall on the past
Well maybe it's you
Do as you say, but never as you do
The way you portray me hasn't ever been the truth
But I've grown past a need to care, so why can't you
Some things never change
You make me split my gut in two
