lyrics

II found a place that I can call my own and be alone without you
I finally found some peace of mind and though I’ve tried I’ll never bring you back
I hid the ghosts underneath my bed inside my head but you knocked down every wall
Tore up the floors to the foundations, my empty sins
No I never will forget what you said

You’re no better, no better than me
You’re no better

You break me down
There’s nothing that you’ve never seen
It’s like you live inside of me
Flow through my bones, unlock me with your skeleton key

I finally found a place that I felt safe
When I lost all faith in your selfish sense of style
The ghost in every verse was you, black and blue
What’s in your veins can’t save you
So stop this, keep away from here
Stop this, is this what you want to hear?

That you’re no better, no better than me
I know better

You break me down
There’s nothing that you’ve never seen
It’s like you live inside of me
Flow through my bones, unlock me with your skeleton key

I’m done writing songs about
You writing songs about me
I’m done making bets on you selling your soul to reach me
You’re never going to be what you’re never going to be, so just leave.

You broke me down
There’s nothing that you’d never seen
It’s like you’re nothing but a dream
Flow through my bones, unlock me with your skeleton key.

You’re not coming back. I’m done looking back at all the loose pages you left on my basement floor. This is how we’ve been, don’t you dare forget, it’s over. Over and over again.
