Tears run from the woman on the wail
That ink was never pressed
For her to sob for you, this room's obsessed with darkness
The countless strokes of crayon that I helped you create
With that blade now to her chords
Now I'm in her place
So let me take these photographs, box them up and bury them in the back
You're gorgeous, photogenic, these negatives come out faded
I see you're the new artist
I'm recluse and you're thoughtless
Ironies at best, when it's not you I stress the rest
I'm pacing back and forth
I'm blowing out smoke
I hate this glimmer of hope
One day I'll choke, mess this up and croak, with nothing left to say
Please don't look at me, for your eyes deceive me
I knew you believed me, but I never thought that you would leave me
You're so contagious, please don't go
I'll let you change me, for your love
You're worth the wait and I should have known
I'll let you change me, for your love
I know you
You know me better
Yeah, you're so clever
I always let her get the best of me
We're breaking out of our shells
We never kiss and tell
That's how we roll, that's how we do things
Just a bit of some class, this mess is all the past
We laid tied to the tracks for your train
We never compromise to sing the same lines
Let's hurry and end this song, before we have a nervous breakdown
You weren't the comeback
You weren't the one that
I called it
So how can I put this
Oh, I'm sorry to inform you
You've been left behind, down the path you wouldn't have had
You wouldn't have had without me
So let me break this down for you, gentlemen
She doesn't want you
Chivalry is now a waste
We now accept she's fashion trend
You're so contagious, please don't go
I'll let you change me, for your love
You're worth the wait and I should have known
I'll let you change me, for your love
