Don't Make Us Both Pay.

by Hologram   Jun 24, 2010


Cry and tell me
Just how much life sucks,
But to be brutally honest
I really don't give a f**k.

Tell me how I don't know
Or have a clue what it's like,
Staying up, lying awake
In the middle of night.

Tell me how I've never seen
Or ever felt like death,
Or that I've never been counting
'Til my last dying breath.

-But-

Don't you ever tell me
I don't know how it hurts,
You think I've never felt those things
And you think my heart has never burst.

Don't say nothing is all life
Has ever bothered to give you,
I know this isn't the right time to say
But I actually hate myself too.

As I watch you drink
Your young life away,
I wonder when it will all happen
And when you'll truly pay

If one day you'll wake up
With nothing at all left,
Will you know who's responsible
For all of that theft?

I don't want you crying
When I get up and leave,
There's only so many hours
I can stand to watch you bleed.

But how can you really want me around
You can't really want me to stay,
You don't think I understand
But for God's sake, for your mistake,
Don't make us both pay ..
