[Verse 1]

I walk the world by myself

I got this soul that I can’t sell

Casting stones again like you want

Like the empty heart left in my chest

I'll leave you here, I’m too far gone

This is moving on


[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t wanna be (I don’t wanna be)

I don’t wanna be the reason you can’t feel anymore


[Chorus]

I can’t see you

I can’t breathe

In the back of your car

You made me believe

I’m the failure, and the disease

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board


[Verse 2]

I walk the world by myself

Striking matches just to watch them burn

I’ve got a soul that I can’t sell in hell

I’m running out


[Chorus]

I can’t see you

I can’t breathe

In the back of your car

You made me believe

I’m the failure, and the disease

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa)

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa)

Just a pawn on your board


[Bridge]

I don’t wanna be (You don’t have to be)

I don’t wanna be this man anymore


[Chorus]

I can’t see you

I can’t breathe

In the back of your car

You made me believe

I’m the failure, and the disease

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa)

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa)

Just a pawn on your board


[Outro]

I walk the world by myself

I got this soul that I can’t sell
