Close your eyes Sweetie,
'cause you're not fit to see this bloody mess,
as my heart beats straight out of my chest.
As I confess to you, it's not a pretty sight.
I went about it all wrong, but it felt so right at the time.
So let the record show this is not the way I had hoped it would be.
Just lose all self-control, and run away, love.
Run away with me, and let yourself go.
And so much for silence.
'Cause this is what I needed you to know.
Let go of this violence.
This busted lip was never meant to show.
Close your eyes Sweetie,
'cause you're not fit to see this bloody mess,
as my heart beats straight out of my chest.
I confess to you it's not a pretty sight.
I went about it all wrong,
but it felt so right at the time.
If I can't stand this, and you can't stand this,
then why did we wait so long?
Hearts are broken, lies are spoken, and we both end up alone.
So take my hand and come with me,
and I will sing to you this sweet song.
But if I can't stand this, and you can't stand this, then why did we wait so long?
And so much for silence.
'Cause this is what I needed you to know.
All these things in my head... I spelled them out for you.
