Take me to a place so loud I cannot hear Bring your mouth closer to my ear I can taste the tension on my tongue Your heady perfume filled my lungs Made me faint, and you were swept away Whatever it was they did I'd have to triple it to make you stay Why did you lead me on I never could contend We were destined to end For a moment I dared to believe you might be different Do things in an all new way So take me out my coffin The cycle never stopping Let's break it together today I dared to believe we might be different Slip from mother nature's chains But we all know the story There's no role in it for me Just another tired cliche Should have known better than to try and alter culture Deeper desires preside They're under our skin, unrelenting Easier to give in Happy ending But it's just the way things are We can't change our parts Mine was just a side role from the start You never could have been Much more than a friend You knew this then, why pretend For a moment I dared to believe you might be different Do things in an all new way So take me out my coffin The cycle never stopping Let's break it together today I dared to believe we might be different Slip from mother nature's chains But we all know the story There's no role in it for me Just another tired cliche Whatever you get consider it a bonus Always second best, you'll never be the focus Convenient while it worked, she left the second that it hurt So don't cling onto the notion you were more than just a moment Our top priority is someone who doesn't yet exist It's the traditional narrative, and such a shame that you don't fit But love is conditional, and you are not essential Love is conditional, yours inconsequential For a moment I dared to believe you might be different Do things in an all new way So take me out my coffin The cycle never stopping Let's break it together today I dared to believe we might be different Slip from mother nature's chains But we all know the story There's no role in it for me Just another tired cliche
