lyrics

Pardon how I don't beg around
or hang out down on my knees,
but I'll say please.
And you won't give thought to that, but I'll ask
And that fact might Make it hard to believe
I couldn't care less about your word back, I'm fucking free
And my message you've read it,
Held it down and repressed it
And that's good enough for me.

And you'll have to accept that there's a bond that we both lack (lost)
That would have helped me feel at ease when the room was spinning
Had I known that before you turned your back
And walked away
I'd never stay
(Hey)

We made you
And we did everything we thought we could do
To be there for you
As all for one
but one for a few
And now you've gone
And buried that right where you're standing atop The ground
Pretty, proper, and proud

Drunken distress tends to give us something to say
But I'm asleep by my phone
Like there's not time today
If you'd only meant it sober
Then we could talk and that would be great
But I just don't think that I have the time
To try to rationalize with a snake

So if you go, then stay away
And pretend that I'll miss you til my dying day
I believe that it's hate
that makes me this way
But don't test my faith
And stay away

We made you
And we did everything we thought we could do
To be there for you
As all for one
but one for a few
And now you've gone
And buried that right where you're standing atop The ground
Pretty, proper, and proud

So thank you
For the toxic, backwards, miserable youth
That you put me through
Cause I can say I'm better than you
And I hold myself to a far more understandable standard somehow
I feel higher now

But I was smarter when I was a liar
