I guess you're back in business
Eating hearts and playing with heads
You take pride in the pain you've dealt and those you have misled.
So this will be your only warning
I'll put it in terms that you'll understand:
Go back to that darkness you call home
Back to your no-man's land
So this is how you pass the time
Why don't you stop wasting mine and feed on another?
It's too bad, you're just a parasite at heart
I guess I fit the part of the host for a while but not much longer
I guess I'm out of luck again,
being the scapegoat and taking the blame
If you ever learned your lesson, you'd hang your head in shame
You do this for your entertainment?
That's one thing I don't quite understand.
But I find comfort knowing that it didn't go as you planned
So this is how you pass the time
Why don't you stop wasting mine and feed on another?
It's too bad, you were a parasite at heart
I guess I fit the part of the host for a while but not much longer

I know that you're drawing the line
I mean it comes as no surprise
I know I come off as a prick some times.
So now I've done all I can do, but still the signs they point to you,
And now I'm just tired and unsure.
Don't knock on my front door to see me because I'm not coming out at all.
So bring me all of your malice. I know I seemed so callous,
But I swear that I never meant a word that I said.
Do you think and feel the same way you used to? 'Cause God knows that I don't.
But I guess that's whatever for now so I'll just keep my mouth shut
And you're right for thinking it's personal
I've done this all before.
It disgusts me to the core.
Don't knock on my front door to see me
Because I'm not coming out at all.
Don't knock on my front door to find the things you left behind here
Or to take back all the thoughts you made so clear.
I'll take my time, sit this one out,
To deal with all the fear and doubt.
I think I'll just bail out and lay in bed all day.
But feeling sorry for myself won't change the hand that I've been dealt.
I gotta make things right at least so I can sleep at night.
And you're right for thinking its personal
I'll think before I dream. Don't concern yourself with me.
Don't knock on my front door to see me
Because I'm not coming out at all.
Don't knock on my front door to find the things you left behind here
Or to take back all the thoughts you made so clear.
And you're wrong to think that it's all okay,
there's so much left to say.
what's the problem anyway?
Just knock on my front door to see me,
Because I might just come out after all.

Tear into me with your words,
you're only wasting your breath; making a scene.
The shards you seem to believe are sharp
are only dull, they don't even seem
to damage or scratch the surface.
Your attempts are fucking worthless,
but come on, keep at it, keep being dramatic,
Behind my back or straight to my face.
Don't lose your place
because it's hard to keep a straight face
when all you seem to do is make yourself a martyr.
But selfish is as selfish does,
it doesn't matter at all because
nothing is the way it was, you're only making this harder.
You'll keep your distance with your constant persistence
You'll sit and make your taunts because you don't have what you want
And when all the things you are
become all the things you fear,
you're finally gonna realize
You'll realize, your enemy's in the mirror.
Make a move, take a chance,
no one will even spare a glance.
Take this straight to heart: this was over from the start.
Complete loss of reason
just admit it you've been beaten
and all I have to say is you're a liar and a fake.
You'll keep your distance with your constant persistance
You'll sit and make your taunts because you don't have what you want
And when all the things you are
become all the things you fear,
you're finally gonna realize
You'll realize, your enemy's in the mirror.
Come on, keep at it, keep being dramatic,
Behind my back or straight to my face?
Come on, keep at it, keep being dramatic.

There won't be room for this song on your phone next year,
not like you'd listen anyway.
Just like every other word that I've said to you,
"We could just hang and talk it out,"
There's nothing left for you here
But you're working full time now.
There won't be room for our picture on your wall next year,
not like you had it anyway
The space you left for it filled up long ago
Sorta feels like this is getting old
Not like you haven't been told
It's not hard to get that
Our songs stuck in my head
So I'll sing my own instead.
Despite the time that we don't have, it's not so bad, it's not so bad.
It didn't have to end this way, but I would never make you stay
I'm trying to find some reason like I always have before
My pride is broken into pieces, I'm sick and tired of picking the pieces off the floor
There won't be room for my place in your heart next year
Not like there was room anyway
Last night you told me how much that I mean to you
It sounded cliched and rehearsed,
Drawn out and flowing in verse
I guess I can get that
The clock is running down
till you have to leave town
Despite the time that we don't have, it's not so bad, it's not so bad.
It didn't have to end this way, but I would never make you stay
I'm trying to find some reason like I always have before
My pride is broken into pieces, I'm sick and tired of picking the pieces off the floor
I don't care if there's room for this song on your phone next year
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm just so sick of this waiting around for you
We'll never hang and talk it out
You're wasting my time now
So now I can get that
So don't think I'll come back
I guess you can get that
Despite the time that we don't have, it's not so bad, it's not so bad.
It didn't have to end this way, but I would never make you stay
I'm trying to find some reason like I always have before
My pride is broken into pieces, I'm sick and tired of picking the pieces off the floor
