lyrics

I’m clouded with my thoughts, so I might as well be clouded up with smoke
No thanks to you, the words pull through, get caught and then I choke
But it’s time you heard the truth, apart from your side
It’s time you saw reality in a new light

Don’t take this the wrong way

You know what, I’m sick of always being the one that you want
Done with the lies and I’m tired of everyone
Sick of your games playing nothing but useless pawns
Is that all I am to you, is useless?

As time will move, the head will soothe the aches and pains that you left me
I’m pouring out my envy, and beginning a new ending
Resurrecting, with flying colors, forgetting the shit we’ve done to each other
Erasing pre-empty pages of dire notes worth spreading

And I’m done pretending

You know what, I’m sick of always being the one that you want
Done with the lies and I’m tired of everyone
Sick of your games playing nothing but useless pawns
Is that all I am to you, is useless now?
I cannot believe what I hear coming out of your mouth
I bet if I asked you wouldn’t know what you’re talking about
I’m sick of your words playing nothing but useless pawns
Is that how this ends, with you leaving me, useless and gone?
