lyrics

I think you know my name, I don't think I know yours
I'm sorry if you're tired, I'm sorry if you're bored
I guess trying too hard didn't do enough, so now you have to see
What it's like to be living without me

Do you know how it feels to have the rug pulled from beneath
Cause it doesn’t feel so great, when you have fallen to you knees
Sticking fingers into wax, trying writing on the wall
But fire’s getting higher, and it just consumed it all

Every time you came around here, just to try to set me off
Made me angry, made me bitter, made me sick, made me cough
But now I’m lithe like a skeleton, live like a skeleton, live like a skeleton, die like a skeleton
You don’t hurt me any more

I'm not thinking about you tonight
I'm not thinking about you tonight
Won't turn around and open up that door

I'm not thinking about you tonight
I'm not thinking about you tonight
Don't wanna hold this anger anymore
