Lyrics
IOU Philadelphia
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.
I've tied my hands together
To keep myself from getting to you
Because you've gotten to me
If I had my way,
Your insides would be out
Burn the floor
So I can finally see
What you're made of
That is then
What a mess
I think I'll take my best guess
That's not hard considering
The breath you've held inside
You're already shamed me
So lose your fake grin
'Cause you know you can't get to me
Let's have your regrets
And never second-guess ourselves again
Don't feel bad
'Cause you know I don't
You're not the only one that's been lied to
So natural
That I've been lying to myself so hard
And I can barely stand
Do I want more
When you can settle for less?
So lose your fake grin
'Cause you know you can't get to me
Let's have your regrets
And never second-guess ourselves again
Catching on
The life has little room for grins
Catching on
And when you do
I, I've already been gone
Been gone
So hard
So lose your fake grin
'Cause you know you can't get to me
Let's have your regrets
And never second-guess ourselves again
Again
And never second-guess ourselves again
We'll never
We'll never
