lyrics

V1: you think so highly of me
but you just wait and see
your love is words that your poor heart runs from
and you just had to eat from that tree

V2:i told you what we are before
i know my actions don't seem to agree
it'll be easy to hurt you badly
but i just cannot seem to mind, sadly

chorus:
in advance i'm sorry
you should have listened to my words
i’d like to say i'm dreading the end
but it'll be nice to be the bad guy instead of the friend

V3:there’s a place in my hands for pain
and it seems like you’re headed that way.
i want to care that i’ll be your downfall
but that’s just not the way it will play.

bridge:
if two wrongs do not make a right
then why put up such a fight?
because in the end it's going to be brutal.
i know your heart's telling you to stay
but mine's saying to punch yours in the face
and either way it leads to an end
