it’s all built on lies anyway

every time you look at my lips, i want you to feel your heart fall to your feet

my burning touch should leave you with endless nightmares,

and you should crave the sight of me again

but you never will, because you never did from the beginning

you let me live thinking i was worth something,

and now you’ve left me with nothing to hold on to

i want you to wake up thinking of how much you wish you could taste me again,

when i’m near you, i want you to feel my eyes digging into your back.

and with every step you take, remember the pain you put me through

but you never will, because you deny the hurt

you let me live thinking i was worth something,

and now you’ve left me with nothing to hold on to

when you see me moving on without you,

i want you to remember how good you had it when i was by your side

know that even though you broke me,

i don’t need you to heal me anymore
