lyrics

about how i collapse -
well you know i love the feeling when im faking like i live on the brink
all this trouble and strife,well am i worth the wait
when i relapse?
i need to take a step back from the medicine cabinet and think.
For the rest of your life,here come the words you anticipate

you said that i should change my ways or change my taste in men
your breathings shallow with fear,your voice rings clear enough
i never said this wouldnt hurt,i never said i wouldnt do this again
i never meant to hurt you dear,i just heard you liked it rough

changing tact - how unique
come on swift with my rebuttle about as subtle as a brick in the face
well im not putting you down,its just i heard my next of kin say
you want to be included - keep up with all my other lovers
darling,you cant handle the pace
but if your still putting it around,well you can count me in

you said that i should change my ways....

so shallow i've become
and i tried my hardest just to fight it off and let myself rise above
all of the compromise,for everything i lack
i came undone,but this affliction and attrition is the cause of all the friction we love
and you can see it in my eyes,now i wont take it back

so i wont change the hurt i've caused
i wont change what ive done
though its so painfully clear that you have had enough
i wont change the way i am
wont change the person i've become
i never meant to hurt you dear,i just heard you liked it rough
