You've left a bitter taste in my mouth Like a mix of the place I came from and the ash that I spit out It's not a feeling I'd wish upon you, you know But the weeds that you neglect will overgrow We're left to reap just what we sow None of you parted with a second of your time You spent the best years of your life wishing you'd never left my side But I'm not here for approval anymore I hope it's not too cold for you to breathe back home Feels like a bullet pierced my chest Fired with so much eloquence The scarlet starts to slip, a smile forms across your lips So run your thumb across the hammer, send me back into the depths Just let me float My body drifting out alone Creating shapes Through my soul We got so stuck in our ways (Through my soul) But never gave it up So wipe the smile from your face Before I rip it off You pretend you're happy for me But I know you're not And I can see your teeth from where I'm standing, oh They glisten in the dark None of you parted with a second of your time You spent the best years of your life wishing you'd never left my side But I'm not here for approval anymore I hope it's not too cold for you to breathe back home And it hurts for a time But the sting will subside in a little while Yeah, it hurts for a time We got so stuck in our ways But never gave it up So wipe the smile from your face Before I rip it off Before I rip it off
