[Verse]

Empty promises are hard to keep

Hold your breath and turn the other cheek

No remorse for traitors

And tell yourself you only stick around with me

‘cause I can’t be left alone

Like a menace to society

Caught somewhere between desire and fear that

You’ll admit but only quietly

Everyone’s ashamed to know

And maybe you were right about me

I’m convinced it’s true

Even though it isn’t right to still be

Mad at you

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s like I can’t get away from it

Both the pleasure and thе pain from it

No doubt

God knows I’m gonna pay for it

Fake my death and change my namе for it

No

[Chorus]

It’s like I can’t get away from it

Both the pleasure and the pain from it

No doubt

God knows I’m gonna pay for it

Fake my death and change my name for it

‘cause they’re out to get me

HAA-AAAH

HAA-AAAH

HAA-AAAH

(mmmmmm)

[Verse]

Kept you waiting on a shooting star

Take a breath, remember where you are

Who does fortune favor?

And even for a dreamer it’s a little far

Thinkin’ you deserve the world

An open wound is like a battle scar

Caught somewhere between regret and pride, well

To tell the difference is a little hard

When there’s no one on your side

And maybe you were right that I’m a

Sad, vindictive prude

Cut me off ‘cause you’re afraid that I’ll get

Back at you

[Pre-Chorus]

I bet it feels good to get away with it

Make ‘em let you have your way with it

No doubt

God knows you had to play with it

And I’m a coward either way

Honey, aren’t we all?

[Chorus]

It’s like I can’t get away from it

Both the pleasure and the pain from it

No doubt

God knows I’m gonna pay for it

Fake my death and change my name for it

‘cause they’re out to get me

[Bridge]

Thrown out of the promised land

Blind faith in the off chance

I’m never gonna run!

I’m never gonna-

I’m never gonna-

Make sense of the way it’s been

Throw myself off the deep end

I’m never gonna run!

‘Cause they’re out to get me
