Lyrics
The Ransom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He softly told you everything.
He never knew you didn´t care.
Break his heart again. smile and prepare for all the words he screams.
Give him a reason - anything but silence or the truth.
He´ll hate you now.
Remember how he held you for all those lonely nights you know you shared
And remember how you never cared about anything he said.
Well now he´s dead to you so bury him instead.
Word´s out i´m not the man i used to be.
You knew it all along that i felt this way.
So i put in this song. tear me apart for pouring out my heart.
You know it wouldn´t phase you in the least.
I hate you now.
Remember how i held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared
And remember how you never cared about anything i said and now i´m dead to you.
So bury me instead.
So here´s the one about every heart you stole.
And you´re so sure that you´re not a thief at all.
I´m the one who´s stealing you and this ransom´s overdue.
Everything that´s in me says that i hate you now.
