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.
burned out, still glowing
but i'm not worth knowing
some sickened story that follows you, becoming untrue
where bright tomorrows give you comfort in sorrow
go around taking back mistakes just to remake them
now you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be, that's why
now you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be
when i hear your footsteps my lip slips, my feet trip
washed out small talk that's all i can do to interact with you
cause no word of kindness puts the whole thing behind us
d'you think the time would stop for me and you?
d'you think i could make it?
now you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be, that's why
why you wanna show me how you hate the side of me i want?
you know i'm not your lover now, and i will never be
got rid of me, got rid of me
