Don’t want to leave. Don’t want to leave. Don’t want to leave. But I’m going to.
Don’t want to leave. Don’t want to leave. Don’t want to leave. But I need to.
Don’t walk away. Don’t walk away. Don’t walk away. When it’s broken.
It can’t stay the same. It can’t stay the same. It can’t stay the same. If it’s over.
Now I’ve said it many times. I guess I’ll say it some more.
Can’t take your petty lies. and your insincere overtones.
When I’ve said I’ve had it. I truly mean it’s a fact.
When your best friends are cancer. Who stab you right in the back.
You don’t even see. You don’t even see. You don’t even see. What its doing.
When I say it’s a cancer. It’s eating right from the heart.
Burnt right and corrosive. You won’t see the alarm.
Down hill by the hour. It will only tear us apart.
You called this a friendship. But you wouldn’t even the score.
What will you say. What will you say. What will you say. And I turn away.
We’ve been down this road. A thousand times it seems.
I could pull out all of my hair. And scream again and again.
This song won’t change it. It seems a weak reprieve.
You have to want to change. Its the way we act that reeks.
Now don’t take it from me. You don’t take it from me. Don’t take it from me...yeah.
You’re gonna have to see. You’re gonna have to see. You’re gonna have to see...for yourself.
We can’t let it be. We can’t let it be. We can’t let it be...no.
I can’t wait and see. I can’t wait and see. I can’t wait and see...
Can’t you see...You’re breaking a dream. A fragile piece...What’s left to be.
A simple choice...Left to most. Would fall apart...Right from the start.
We hypnotized...believed the lies. Oh too bad, this way must die.
We have to change, this life rearranged. Or so it seems, we’re not living the dream
