The Breakdown

Sure I’ll play along 
I’ll crawl into this bed of lies 
Tell me, am I wrong? 
 
Okay I won’t question you 
I’ll dance with the enemy 
Tell me, what can I do? 
 
I guess you are right 
I’ll put my faith in a hopeless cause 
Tell me, who are you tonight? 
 
I cannot do this anymore 
I won’t let you tear me up 
Tell me, are your finger sore? 
 
No I won’t just let it go 
I can’t forget what you’ve done 
Tell me, when did you get so low? 
 
Please remember this while you’re laying in your bed 
That beautiful thoughts of you used to race through my head 
But, from here on out I’ll think of you as merely dead.
