You held me in your gaze
And you told me that you'd love me in so many ways
But when I showed you my saddest pats
You left me torn open with an unguarded heart
So why waste my time?
Did you think that your bullshit
Would one day become mine?
And we'd share in your spineless ways
Fighting fake monsters for the rest of our days?
[Chorus]
My pain won't transmit
So you can stop acting like you'll catch my shit
And get off your damn throne
You've got work to do on your own
It's been twenty-odd years
Since you told me you were safe and then reduced me to tears
Because I showed you my broken wing
And that prompted your defenses and made me feel your sting
But why turn on me?
Did I expose a side that you were too scared to see
In your own hungry soul
Now you avoid the very thing that will make you whole?
[Chorus]
You held me in your gaze
And you told me that you'd love me in so many ways
But when I showed you my saddest pats
You left me torn open with an unguarded heart
So why waste my time?
Did you think that your bullshit
Would one day become mine?
And we'd share in your spineless ways
Fighting fake monsters for the rest of our days?
[Chorus]
My pain won't transmit
So you can stop acting like you'll catch my shit
And get off your damn throne
You've got work to do on your own
It's been twenty-odd years
Since you told me you were safe and then reduced me to tears
Because I showed you my broken wing
And that prompted your defenses and made me feel your sting
But why turn on me?
Did I expose a side that you were too scared to see
In your own hungry soul
Now you avoid the very thing that will make you whole?
[Chorus]
