Been chewed up - I don't want your affection
I'm screwed up - I been down that hole before
I could've - made quite an impression
And I would've - made you need me more
And what if I thought of everything?
Then what good would you be to me
A boot around my flat tire
An albatross around my neck, making it hard to breathe
Caught myself off guard
The demands are stacking up
Now I'm out of time
And my load won't get lighter
So I smile and I nod
Make believe that I'm somewhere else
Anywhere but here
I been lied to - I can taste it in the air
You tried to - slip another one by me
I smiled when - I told you I didn't care
And you cried when - you told me 'how do you dare?'
And now that I fucked up everything
Wonder what tomorrow will bring
I'm gonna resent you in the end
I'm gonna bounce back when you break and I bend
Caught myself off guard
The demands are stacking up
Now I'm out of time
And my load won't get lighter
So I smile and I nod
Make believe that I'm somewhere else
Anywhere but here
(And what if I thought of everything?

I'm gonna bounce back when you break and I bend)
Caught myself off guard
The demands are stacking up
Now I'm out of time
And my load won't get lighter
So I smile and I nod
Make believe that I'm somewhere else
Anywhere but here
