I believe in chasing things that I've been told I won't ever reach
But who are you to tell me what to be
Your words don't mean a damn thing
Well I guess that's just the way we are
Wrapped up in hiding all our scars
You point your finger
So no one else can see your pain
Tearing me out from your pages
Leaving me locked in your basement
Funny enough it don't faze me
Maybe I'm used to falling apart
Writing me off cause you're jaded
Tell me you found a replacement
Looking for ways to escape this
But I'm getting used to how things are
You said I look my best when my hands are tied
But be sure the knots are tight
Cause we wouldn't want to ruin a perfect night
Sink in your teeth until I'm drained of my inspiration
I can't give you no consolation
My lips are sealed and I swallowed up the key
Tearing me out from your pages
Leaving me locked in your basement
Funny enough it don't faze me
Maybe I'm used to falling apart
Writing me off cause you're jaded
Tell me you found a replacement
Looking for ways to escape this
But I'm getting used to how things are
Patronize my every single word
(Patronize my words)
And drag me through the dirt
(Victimize me just like I deserve)
Just like I deserve
And never put me first
Tearing me out from your pages
Leaving me locked in your basement
Funny enough it don't faze me
Maybe I'm used to falling apart
Writing me off cause you're jaded
Tell me you found a replacement
Looking for ways to escape this
But I'm getting used to how things are
