You're wearing skin over your scales
Trying to hide horns & barbed tail
I couldn't see through your mask
Just do whatever you asked
Your claws in my skin, teeth 'round my throat
I'm wearing thin, you're starting to gloat
But I'll never take you to task
Just do whatever you asked
I couldn't see through your mask
I just do whatever you ask
We lie scale to skin here in your bed
You lured me in, you got in my head
Given an option, I'd pass
But you're too self-assured to ask
Heavy the weight of guilt & of shame
Not mine to bear, I did anyway
I'd rather be anywhere else
But you never cared how I felt
With no one around me to help
You bastard, you put me through Hell
Well, Bastard, I made it through Hell
& I'll curse you by living well
I'll be alright
I'm doing just fine

You never apologize, you never say
"Oh, I'm sorry"
Or take me into account, maybe say
"Oh, you matter to me"
I don't wanna be the one always out here cryin'
I don't wanna be the one always out here cryin'
But I'm feeling low, I hang my head
I think about the words you said
I can't get it out of my head
& you try to take back what you said
A little too late
The damage is already...
Soft heart & softer skin
They always say
"Tough up, baby"
& I don't wanna lose myself
But overthought feels like it's killing me
I don't wanna be the one always out here cryin'
I don't wanna be the one always out here cryin'
But I'm feeling low, I hang my head
I think about the words you said
I can't get it out of my head
& you try to take back what you said
But I'm feeling low, I hang my head
I overanalyze what you said
I can't get out of my own head
& you try to take back what you said
A little too late (late)
The damage is already (damage is already)
A little too late (late)
The damage is already (damage is already)
A little too late (late)
The damage is already done

My old haunts won't do
They're all filled with you
You found somebody new
& I'm left feeling blue
& all the old cliches
Like: all my days are grey
Like: I'll just fade away
Is there another way?
I've been leaving little ghosts everywhere
Trying not to choke on the air
Won't you let me know if you're still there?
Won't you let me go if you don't care?
If I should leave today
Pack up & run away
What would you have to say?
Would you ask me to stay?
Or would you let me go?
Would anybody know?
I'm disappearing slow
Well does my absence show?
I've been leaving little ghosts everywhere
Trying not to choke on the air
Won't you let me know if you're still there?
Won't you let me go if you don't care?
I'm leaving little ghosts everywhere
Trying not to choke on the air
Won't you let me know if you're still there?
Won't you let me go if you don't care? (You don't, you don't, you don't)
You don't care (You don't, you don't, you don't)
You don't care (You don't, you don't, you don't)
You don't care (You don't, you don't, you don't)
You don't care
You don't care
