lyrics

Breakups are better in someone else's song

'Cause when they're over you can carry on

It's not yet for me is it real for you at all?

I guess I won't even know what you're thinking anymore

You hold me and tell me everything will be ok

Meanwhile I wanna rip my skin off

You look at me as I look away

All my indecision was in your face

'Why don't you hate me?'

'It's better if you hate me', you said

Life before you was a lifetime ago

The only thing the same was my name

We always talked it through honestly

Maybe we talked it through a little too much

Yeah we laughed, but mostly we cried

It seemed there was more to cry about

I cannot blame you for all the tragedy

I think sometimes I tried to

You really should hate me

Yeah you should hate me

Why don't you hate me?

Maybe you do

It's not the death we were gunnin' for

I wish it was those bloody parasites

Don't know what to do in any way at all

At least with you some things made sense

But what about this disposable sitting on my bookshelf?

So many happy pictures of you that no one's ever seen (maybe I'll keep it that way)

It's like the song I wrote about photos of friends

Except this time I know there was real love

This time I know there was real love

But some times real love feels like dying

Like dying (maybe you do)

Like dying (maybe you do)

Like dying (yeah we all do)
