lyrics

What am I to you anyway?
Just fodder for your accidents?
Please could you care about me
This back and forth,
And back and forth
Back and forth we play this game of pity and apathy
Don't look at me if you don't
Mean anything you say
Like the words "you're everything to me”

Maybe I wish I wasn't
Myself because you're always
Telling me things, I don't
Wanna hear, from your mouth
Maybe, I'll shut you up with
My own mouth and I will suffocate you
‘Til you stop breaking, me inside

You're charading
I am sick of this
I am fading
And the butterflies are tearing me apart
I'm tearing on whether you
Like it or not I will spill all of this
Onto where you sleep

I need you
To stop breathing down my neck
‘Cause all it does is arouse an irritation
Please don't inspire a violence inside me
In spite of me
You really don't know what will happen, and i don't blame you
I don’t blame you for anything at all

I am no longer, the conquered
