lyrics

Think back on all the things you said to me the night I ran away.
So cavalier with all the ways you said for me to go away.
But when you realised that I was fine, you went and changed your mind.
You said you couldn't bare not being mine.

And it fucking blows me away,
How everything can all just change,
It doesn't matter what you swear on in the end.
No matter what you both say,
No matter how much you pray,

Everything's a contradiction,
in the end you can't do nothing and it trips me out,
how quickly people sell you out.
Everyone is out to get me,
paranoia's taking over me it always weirds me out,
how many people are willing to shut their friends out.

Words are just words and can't possibly explain,
or accurately describe just how it feels inside.
I should be allowed to miss you.
As much as I should be allowed to say I wanna kiss you.
I left because I had to not I wanted to.

And it fucking blows me away,
How everything can all just change,
It doesn't matter what you swear on in the end.
No matter what you both say,
No matter how much you pray,

Everything's a contradiction,
in the end you can't do nothing and it trips me out,
how quickly people sell you out.
Everyone is out to get me,
paranoia's taking over me it always weirds me out,
how many people are willing to shut their friends out.

You left me here,
Surrounded by all my biggest fears,
And the life we swore and the plans we'd made burned down by the selfish paths you paved,
I know your game and I think you're lame,
for all the ways you tried to shift the blame,
I won't be your slave you should be ashamed go and play your games I said I ain't no fucking chaser.

Everything's a contradiction,
in the end you can't do nothing and it trips me out,
how quickly people sell you out.
Everyone is out to get me,
paranoia's taking over me it always weirds me out,
how many people are willing to shut their friends out.
