I waste my words on someone who doesn't care I don't know why I hate that I try so damn hard Twelve hours away Old mem'ries are warped, I wait For something to change As if I could pray it into being okay Like it's all okay Oh I'd rather you be mean than just give me nothing at all Silence isn't peace, this mind palace threatens to fall You're the Sword of Damocles Keep hangin' over me I wish I could say I don't care if you stay But you've got this hold on me It's the pit of lunacy I'm begging the king Don't cut through the string Just let me be free Secrets stain your lips a cherry red I guess I'll never know why you left You've got me thinkin' I'm the one to blame Does that make you feel like it's okay You're the sword of Damocles Keep hangin' over me I wish I could say I don't care if you stay But you've got this hold on me It's the pit of lunacy I'm begging the king Don't cut through the string Just let me be free I'm begging the king Don't cut through the string Just let me be free
