(Intro)

The voices say they got allowed

In by a small amount

I hear the way you talk about

Me when I’m not around

I wish I could've read the signs

They had such weird designs

And, as my confidence declines

You've been blurring the lines

It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duel

(Verse 1)

Keeping you here was a hopeless endeavor

Found out the hard way that nothing’s forever

Thought we’d be “always”, but you told me “never”

You nail deception, I guess I’m not clеver

In my circle of friends, you wеre an oval

Tell me to stay silent, but I’m too vocal

You’re a plain old diamond, and I’m an opal

Weigh our friendship down ‘til it’s immobile

Part of me wishes things could have been different

But it wasn't, and now you've lost me

I just won't have it; My back's turned, you'll stab it

So look both ways before you cross me

I can't believe you spent so much of my life

By your side; All this time, I was blind to all the problems

Trash me when I'm not there, so now it's over

Take it slower, loose my shoulders, send a joker back to Gotham

Things changed since we stopped having to walk those halls

Raised my walls, missed your calls, friendship falls like it's Autumn

But, to be honest, I'm better off alone

So just go on your own, let me grow, let me blossom

(Refrain)

Someone I just

No longer trust

You’re left to rust

Collecting dust

Someone I just

No longer trust

You’re left to rust

Collecting dust

(Interlude)

Before I set aside

A portion of my life

I need to know if I

Won’t be wasting my time

(Verse 2)

You're preaching to the choir now

But can you practice what you preach?

And I thought I was the only one

That had difficulty with speech

Use me to move yourself along

And then you leave me, you're a leach

Hurt people that defend themselves

What kind of lesson is that to teach?

(Refrain)

Someone I just

No longer trust

You’re left to rust

Collecting dust

Someone I just

No longer trust

You’re left to rust

Collecting dust

[Spoken Outro]

I think we're good
