lyrics

It’s not your fault, it never was
It didn’t hurt, it never does
And it’s not gonna work that way
Not anymore
I keep pretending to be fine
Wrap my wounds up in twine
All the bar fight blood from a late night
Cashing in your bed sheets, sleeping on the concrete
You’re the sound underneath the streets at night
And you’re the only girl I can’t look in the eye
I keep on finding you don’t deny why you love that

Can you feel the flame matching up with the pain
Tied into refrain
You don’t need it anymore than I do
I am a ghost in your life
I am looking for your light
Shining like candles made for wives
The car is so empty and cold
I’m driving around in the snow
I’m not sure what to know
Or I don’t know anything

All of you took the same old joke too far
And I’ve got you all on a string

Walking around, throwing fiction to the ground
I don’t need it, you don’t know it
But you always blew it when you did
I’m not supposed to love you back after you broke my back
Well I know it, and I can’t ever relax
And I just can’t let her go
But I don’t know why I am alone
It’s not your fault

It’s not your fault, it never was
It didn’t hurt, it never does
It’s not your fault, it never was
It doesn’t hurt, it never does

All of you cardboard cutout city stars
The joke is on you and everyone else
And I’ve got you all on a string
On a string
Oh, it’s everything
