lyrics

At this point I just want to go back
To the time I paid to make you stay on an island with me.
I want my money not my time back.
Cause you could never actually apologize
for what you’ve done to my insides.
They’re broken and black.

But I’ve got these teeth, you never see.
You could have walked miles for me,
instead of gluing your eyes to a screen.
Now all your words are falling like leaves.
But they’re in piles and filled with disease.
I made up my mind, you see,
I found myself accepting possibilities
Because for so long, I let myself believe,
That a box in the city is where I needed to be.

A box in the city is where I needed to be.

At this point I tried to believe
That you never meant what you said to me.
don’t give me the time of day.
Cause if this is where I want to be then I would have stayed.

He screams ‘you mean nothing to me’,
then drains the red from your eyes.
You want to kick and scream but sit quiet and apologize.
But I’ve watched your teeth gnaw at the seams
of my sanity for years before it cause a scene.

Now I’m choking as I pledge to be
As distant from you as I can be.

I’ve got no reason to stay,
I’ve got no reason to obey.
I’ve got a chance to breathe
and reasons I should be happy now.
I'm happy now.
(Don't walk away from me,
I'll never let you leave.)
So happy now.
(don't walk away from me,
I'll never let you leave)
So happy now.

But I made up my mind you see,
(don't walk away from me)
I made up my mind you see,
(I'll never let you leave)
I made up my mind you see,
(don't walk away from me, don't walk away)
I made up my mind ya see
in cardboard city.

In Cardboard city.
