lyrics

Advance your end
No chance, fake friend

I never saw it comin', you really had my wind knocked out
Your selfish choices betrayed our loyalty
You cut me open and made us feel so stupid
Can't believe we trusted you

She said, "Drop dead"
Better keep your head down

You got some nerve to show up here all penitent and coy
And ask for what you destroyed
Hell no we can't be friends
Refuse the branch you extend, go shove your amends
Bridge was burnt at both ends, won't let it happen again

Depress so deep
Long nights, no sleep

Guilt drives you crazy, the weeks go by in a daze for me
I try to talk but you don't want to hear
Self-preservation, the motto of a nation
But it hasn't worked out well

From your end I win
But I'm not fine

And it's not a competition, though I know somehow I lost
Show me things that I forgot
I don't deserve your best
But my head is a mess, there's a hole in my chest
I know you protest, but let's lay this to rest

I'm not the same

From your elevation you can't see me try to stand
Or the blisters on these hands
You're lookin' at yourself
And you'll litigate well 'til there's nobody else

Oh and I know somehow I lost
Show me things that I forgot
I don't deserve your best
But my head is a mess, there's a hole in my chest
I know you protest, but let's lay this to rest
