I needed to start running away

We're no good, it's me I'm trying to save

Treading water we're just numbing the pain

Spinning round as we circle the drain

Pick the pieces up and turn it around

I bring the hammer down

Walk out

Somehow I couldn't say to you, the things to make it right

The words just came out wrong and then we'd end up in a fight

'Cause I guess I fucked up, messed this luck up

And I blame myself

But man, I gotta let it go

Take a shot and let it roll

Then I can almost clear my head

Till I'm alone laying in bed

Thinking

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away

I needed to start running away

We're no good, it's me I'm trying to save

Treading water we're just numbing the pain

Spinning round as we circle the drain

Pick the pieces up and turn it around

I bring the hammer down

Walk out, oh

Between the cocaine and the lies

The truth and alibis

Excuses don't mean anything when tears run down our eyes

All I do is remember, last September

Sitting in your car

And hearing man, I gotta go

And I wish it wasn't so

But we were circling the drain

But we were circling the drain

Just can't change

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away

I needed to start running away

We're no good, it's me I'm trying to save

Treading water we're just numbing the pain

Spinning round as we circle the drain

Pick the pieces up and turn it around

I bring the hammer

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away, come on

I needed to start running away

We're no good, it's me I'm trying to save

Treading water we're just numbing the pain

Spinning round as we circle the drain

We needed to start running away

We're no good, we were just trying to save

Treading water we're just numbing the pain

Spinning round as we circle the drain

Pick the pieces up and turn it around

And bring the hammer down

Bring the hammer down
