I'm Not Here For Rage I'm Here For Revenge (More Than Your Hook Up)

Your self destruction has become mine

Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes

Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories

You forsake all loyalties for lies

You're too late to decide

This can't go right

Cause I got this tonight,

I got this tonight

I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)

After you read this (were they yours or mine)

Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)

Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)

I need to say this (what you waited for)

the best parts were hush, hush (tonight)

The best parts were pure luck (tonight)

But I swore that this time

I was more than your hook up

Those vacant eyes looking back

To see your words under my skin

And I am more than a moment

But I had to give in

A person gets just one chance

To say what they really mean

You said yours, I'll say mine

It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19

The best years have passed you by

The best years have already passed

You forsake all loyalties for lies

You forsake all loyalties for lies

Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)

Together from this town (we can work this out)

Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)

To let his guard down (I said everything)

You played me so well (enjoy your time left)

I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)

From underneath my feet

I thought we were floating

Those vacant eyes looking back

To see your words under my skin

And I am more than a moment

But I had to give in

A person gets just one chance

To say what they really mean

You said yours, I'll say mine

It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19

The best years have passed you by

The best years have already passed you by

Is this the world passing by?

Or is it turning, turning?

This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself

It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself

Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning

Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away

All this time the world I knew was turning, turning

All this time that I loved you

You were turning, turning away
