Lyrics

Playing With Fire

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.

Pardon me for saying so but you look more pitiful

Than I have ever imagined

Despite perfect fashion

And the photographs depict you so differently

I always thought you would be, some sort of match for me

So let's decide who can survive

Stomping feet and racing beats

Of hearts that don't ever slow

Then I'll write letters on white paper

Expressing my deep disappointment

Dripping where I stand from my watery hands

Hoping to get passed the open bedroom door

With her clothes on the floor

Remind me of our conversations

The feeling of slight hesitation

To turn out the lights

14 days now since we started

To complicate the situation

I'm not hiding,

I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door

We will come out when it's safe for us

There's nothing left to say

To excuse the way that I've behaved

I still feel him gripping like a stain to this fabric

Torn in every seam

Then thrown away

(Don't believe me when I say it's over. By the time it's all uncovered)

One without regret, I will not forget

One without regret, I will not forget

Kill me.

Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes?

You were there with every promise made to break

When did you become the one without regret?

Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget

When did you become the one without regret?

Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget
