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.

ive come to the assumption that im gonna be the one thats leaving

you tonight, tonight...

well ive flicked every switch that i could find on my way out

just to upset you more (just to keep you busy) just to make you

angry (just because you were right) just because you were...

on side streets in heaven,

lets get this out and on the table...

fast forward to say four o' clock, im keeping time, i'm holdin',

we're always holdin', (always holdin), we're always holdin,

holding out...and thats what got us here in the first place, we

should have never come here alone (we should have never bothered

at all), bothered at all...

scream older and more to scale, filled with resentment, we got

it, we got it (im not thinkin happier...) older and more to

scale, filled with resentment, we got it, we got it (im not

thinkin happier, no, im not thinking happier, not since...)

well...five o' clock the floor caught fire with footsteps (my

footsteps) and spread like a disease to the door (im stumblin

through it but i hear it)i hear its good to stick with you (and

you know a whole lot of this, it all could have been avoided

when you were courtside for this nightmare), well since then i

got myself come and listen...

scream older and more to scale, filled with resentment, we got

it, we got it (im not thinkin happier...) older and more to

scale, filled with resentment, we got it, we got it (im not

thinkin happier, no, im not thinking happier, not since...)

well, we used to get so much more (i used to, i used to too...)

it used to take so much more (i used to, i used to, i used

to...)
