I'm biting my tongue so hard I can taste the blood
You could have had me but I wasn't enough
Your words backpedal but your actions move on
We talk and talk and talk
But we're wrong
She'll never be me and that's the safety you need
She won't fill you up but you won't bleed when she leaves
You played the fool when you played with me
We tried and tried and tried
To believe
Tell me you didn't do it
Tell me I did it to myself
Tell me you want her
Tell me there's nobody else
Tell me and I'll bury our love down deep in the past
Or tell me to carry its bones on my back
Forever
Tell me or don't….
I bitter-coat my words but it's shining underneath
A love that could blind you knock you off your feet
If you don't pay attention your eyes won't see
Now you're sorry sorry sorry
For me
Tell me you didn't do it
Tell me I did it to myself
Tell me you want her
Tell me there's nobody else
Tell me and I'll bury our love down deep in the past
Or tell me to carry its bones on my back
Forever
Tell me or don't….
I'm biting my tongue so hard I can taste the blood
