Shallow Tragedy

Please take this out on me Exhale every point you ever tried to prove Oh honey, I've met girls like you Who twist knives just for fun Amplify those inhibitions I can't see I'm standing when he used to be But it seems I've missed the point Fallen short of the mark Darling, I've been grieving This love's nowhere to go I'm either pleading Or sinking like a stone You said that I'd be better off But I'm still reeling from the shock So keep those wandering eyes Every single second of my precious time I've wasted on these fucking lines I have missed the point Fallen short of the mark Cast out like the rest Just the ticking of a box Darling, I've been grieving This love's nowhere to go I'm either pleading Or sinking like a stone You said that I'd be better off But I'm still reeling from the shock I don't mean to be I don't mean to be so crude I don't mean to be I don't mean to be so crude I don't mean to be I don't mean to be so crude I don't mean to be No, I don't mean to be so crude It's what you drive me to Darling, I've been grieving This love's nowhere to go I'm either pleading Or sinking like a stone You said that I'd be better off But I'm still reeling from the shock Oh, it's a bitter pill to swallow But it's the only thing I've got
