lyrics

She was a short-haired girl
Who for half of a year
Made up my world
But stories that start like this
Always end with dishonesty

I had a friend who went through it all
His voice of reason broke things off
But after she led him
Through her bedroom window
I guess adrenaline overwhelmed his ego

I should’ve noticed all the signs
I guess it’s true to say that love
Is completely blind

Too late I realized
She was sleeping with him
And he was thinking of her
But nobody would tell me
Because they didn’t want me to get hurt
And it’s way too late to accept apologies
Just say your prayers and hope to God
I never have to see you again

I’ve grown fond of moving on
Replacing torture with another’s bed
Standing on ashes from burnt down bridges
Are an ecstasy I’ll never forget

I’ve still got most of my friends
And you’ve got your man
I guess it’s safe to say
It all worked out in the end

Too late I realized
She was sleeping with him
And he was thinking of her
But nobody would tell me
Because they didn’t want me to get hurt
And it’s way too late to accept apologies
Just say your prayers and hope to God
You’ll never have to rely on me

I’d rather have you tell me the truth
Instead of pulling on broken ropes
And tightening the noose

She was sleeping with him
And he was thinking of her
But nobody would tell me
Because they didn’t want me to get hurt
And it’s way too late
To think about what we could be
Because I’m only gonna see you
As another enemy

Hey, how’s it going Chris?
I hope you know that you’re missed
But you can just be with her instead
I’ll see you in hell when I’m dead
