lyrics

I need to stop sleeping with the shades pulled down
By the thoughts in my head that's been up in the clouds
Come and go, changing shape, as the wind blows them by
The time I open up my mind, I've already lost my mind

I pour my heart out into the glass house
Lost so much blood I think I might pass out
It's still half empty, it's not enough
Come help me drown and come top me off

If size doesn't matter what's the difference
Between a knife and a dagger, is it intent?
(It's just a matter of leverage
Take what you can get
Give nothing back)

We go from two step to tango
This torturous transformation
Is tearing my teeth from your tender skin
Time and time again I make this mistake
I trust myself not to trust what I may
Or may not consider the wrong thing to say
Like I love you, I need you, but please go away

I pour my heart out into the glass house
Lost so much blood I think I might pass out
It's still half empty, it's not enough
Come help me drown and come top me off

If size doesn't matter what's the difference
Between a knife and a dagger, is it intent?
(It's just a matter of leverage
Take what you can get
Give nothing back)

I pour my heart out into the glass house
Lost so much blood I think I might pass out
It's still half empty, it's not enough
Come help me drown and come top me off

(When you touch yourself and
remember how good I felt
I hope you think of him and relive all your guilt
It's time we grow up, it's time we both moved on
We can't keep doing something we both know is wrong
And when you touch your neck remember the marks I left
I hope you look at him and know that you feel less
Than you did for me 'cause now you're second best
You can have your life and I'll have my revenge)
