[Verse 1]

Pardon me for saying so, but you look more pitiful

Than I had ever imagined

Despite perfect fashion

And your photographs depict you so differently

I always thought you would be some sort of match for me


[Pre-Chorus]

So let's decide who can survive

Stomping feet and racing beats of hearts that don't ever slow

Then I'll write letters on white paper

Expressing my deep disappointment


[Chorus]

Dripping where I stand from my watery hands

Hoping to get past the open bedroom door

Where her clothes on the floor remind me of our conversations

The feeling of slight hesitation to turn out the light


[Verse 2]

14 days now since we started (I'm not)

To complicate the situation (I'm not hiding from this situation)

I'm not hiding (I'm not)

I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door

(I'm not hiding from this situation)

We will come out when it's safe for us

When it's safe for us

When it's safe for us, us

For us all


[Chorus]

There's nothing left to say

(Don't believe me when I say it's over)

To excuse the way that I've behaved

I still feel him

Gripping like a stain to this fabric

(By the time you're gone it's all uncovered)

Torn at every seam, then thrown away


[Bridge]

One without regret

I will not forget

One without regret

I will not forget


[Outro]

Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes?

(One without regret)

You were there with every promise made to break

(I will not forget)

When did you become the one without regret?

(One without regret)

Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget

(I will not forget)

When did you become the one without regret?

(Kill me, kill me, kill me)

Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget

(Kill me, kill me)
