How Can You Say That?

How can you say that?
Because you've wasted time!
Because you've used up your lines!
But my heart's not for sale
You left it long ago
And I've grown cold
But I wake up sweating
Letting my body run its course
Forgetting the times you were my source...
To happiness.
Is it sensible for me to want it back?
Your words are watered down
And now I drown in your thoughts
I thought about you all night
Until the sky was turning light again
So I got ready to fight again
To take down another day
And I guard my heart in every way
Because no one's ever really safe
Who's to say
Someone won't just break in
With a high powered hair dryer
And an outlet to plug it in
Melting my chest
Till I'm raining on the floor
And I can't rely on them to stay
And keep me warm
It's too much to ask
So I keep my feelings sealed up
In a tiny zip-lock bag
And keep it in my pocket
To make sure that I won't drop it
On the other side I carry a ring
That's burning a whole
Right through my jeans
I think it fell out a few blocks back
But I'll leave it there
For someone else to wear
For someone else who cares
About the one they love
And they'll give it to their girlfriend
As a promise not to leave
A promise I could never keep
Or ever believe
The one we used
To guilt each other into staying
But now you're swaying
Between the lines of yes and no
I won't tell you not to go
Because I've made that mistake before
I've hung onto you before
Like you were my last stitch of hope
But I'm not the only villain
We're really not so different
You played Russian Roulette
And pointed the gun to my head
I may have fired first
But I never left you for dead!
So go ahead...
And pull the trigger
Cause I've got bigger
Plans than this town can hold
I fold my body into an iron cage
Cause at this stage
I can't engage in anything more
Than superficiality
Cause the mentality I have
Is more like fatality
Than reality
My vitality is stronger than ever
And I vow to never
Put myself through that again
