The Worst Way To Retaliate
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.
Don't hesitate to break my back
You're a heart attack, you are everything I lack
If you feel the need to take my pride
Cut me down to size, cough up the truth and run and hide
You refuse to let me stay
I was not meant to bend this way
I could tell you I love you, but it won't be the same
The way that it ended means there's no one to blame
You weren't made to make me sing
Wide awake, you keep me up in bed
I got a hundred different things runnin' through my head
It's hard to fall asleep when all your dreams are dead
And I know you think about me too
Or I'm assuming in the back of your mind if you do
Subconsciously your hoping I come back to you
I hate to be the one to pick a fight
But you see, I know when I'm wrong and I know when I'm right
It's a challenge to be strong when you're so weary and trite
Don't hesitate to say you need some space
Well it seems that you have found somebody else to replace
The melancholly feeling that I have to embrace
