Close your eyes sweetie cause you're not fit to see
This bloody mess, as my heart it beat straight out of my chest
As I confess to you it's not a pretty site
Went about it all wrong, but it felt so right at the time
So let the record show
This is not the way I would hope it would be
Just lose all self control
Runaway love, runaway with me
And let yourself go
Well so much for silence
Cause this is what I needed you to know
Let go of this violence
And this busted lip was never meant to show, to show
Close your eyes sweetie cause you're not fit to see
This bloody mess, as my heart it beat straight out of my chest
As I confess to you it's not a pretty site
Went about it all wrong, but it felt so right at the time, at the time
If I can't stand this, and you can't stand this, then why did we wait so long?
When hearts are broken, lives are spoken and we both end up alone
So take my hand and come with me and I'll sing you this sweet song
But if I can't stand this and you can't stand this, then why did we wait so long
If I can't stand this, and you can't stand this, then why did we wait so long?
And so much for silence
Cause this is what I needed you to know
Let go of this violence
And this busted lip was never meant to show
And so much for silence
Cause this is what I needed you to know, to know
All these things in my head
I spelled them out for you
