So tell me where we are standing now,
You set me up to knock me down,
And tried to put the blame on me
The blame on the one who it shouldn't be
When you shut your mouth, I like that sound
The sound you make when you've been found out
Broken trust and shattered dreams
It seems all of this was make believe
Pre-chorus:
They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
We've broken the house and torn off the roof,
You're in my head every single day,
It's driving me crazy, it won't go away
Chorus:
Here I am being critical,
When you're over there being an emotional,
Wreck again, just like before,
It's all the same, the same old game
Here I am I'm playing the fool,
There you are being a pitiful,
Mess, the one that you have made,
The pathetic mess I tried to save
Verse 2:
Give me a reason to give you a chance,
Would you even go back if we could again?
Come a bit closer and tell me your plans,
You cant talk when you’ve buried your head in the sand
Pre-chorus:
They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
We've broken the house and torn off the roof,
You're in my head every single day,
It's driving me crazy, it won't go away
Chorus:
Here I am being critical,
When you're over there being an emotional,
Wreck again, just like before,
It's all the same, the same old game
Here I am I'm playing the fool,
There you are being a pitiful,
Mess, the one that you have made,
The pathetic mess I tried to save
Bridge:
Here is to nothing, that you said would be something,
Something never happens but we still get hurt through it all,
Here is to nothing, that you said would be something,
Something never happens but we still get hurt through it all,
We still get hurt through it all!
Chorus:
Here I am being critical,
When you're over there being an emotional,
Wreck again, just like before,
It's all the same, the same old game
Here I am I'm playing the fool,
There you are being a pitiful,
Mess, the one that you have made,
The pathetic mess I tried to save
