lyrics

It’d been so long
I had forgotten that the
War’s still on
I couldn’t see what I was
Standing on
Now a landmine’s triggered, set to go off

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know
Since we went through this before

Stayed away, put those feelings to rest
But I see that it’s starting again
I was wrong when I thought that you knew best
’Cause look at this big mess
You said it’d be painless

Bright, sharp edge
I’m digging shrapnel from my
Tender chest
I set the metal on your
Window ledge
So the sun glints off the twisted mess

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know
Since we went through this before

Stayed away, put those feelings to rest
But I see that it’s starting again
I was wrong when I thought that you knew best
’Cause look at this big mess
You said it’d be painless

I can see that you’re working on changing
But with you it’s just more of the same thing
I was wrong when I thought that you knew best
’Cause look at this big mess
You said it’d be painless

Look what you put me through, oh
What are we gonna do? Oh
Look what you put me through, oh
(But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know)
Why do we gotta choose? Oh
(But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know, but I’d be lying if I)

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know
Was there any other way that we could go?

Stayed away, put those feelings to rest
But I see that it’s starting again
I was wrong when I thought that you knew best
’Cause look at this big mess
You said it’d be painless

I can see that you’re working on changing
But with you it’s just more of the same thing
I was wrong when I thought that you knew best
’Cause look at this big mess
You said it’d be painless

(You said it’d be painless)

I was wrong when I thought that you knew best
’Cause look at this big mess
You said it’d be painless
