Dead Weight - With the Punches

I’ve identified my first mistake as trying

To justify a rep that you did nothing to avoid

Too many times I took the blame and now I’ve had enough

What’s the point of making future plans when you’re lying from the start?

Finally have the nerve

To call you out

The only way that I know how

I’m done lying for your sake

This is just more than I can take

Those bad tattoos oh what a mistake

Call this just what it was

I grew tired of your rolling eyes

You’re a monster

By your own design

What more can I say?

It’s alright for me to feel this way

Just wrong to keep on faking it

We’ve both wasted enough time by denying

The truth in how you knew I felt

Face the fact: you never cared

Made it through my best year without ever looking back

If it comes to pass and you see my face

I wish you’d just forget my name

Finally have the nerve

To call you out

The only way that I know how

I’m done lying for your sake

This is just more than I can take

Those bad tattoos oh what a mistake

Call this just what it was

I grew tired of your rolling eyes

You’re a monster

By your own design

What more can I say?

It’s alright for me to feel this way

Just wrong to keep on faking it

Somehow it feels so right

To not care if you make it home tonight

To not care if you make it home tonight

I hope you know I’m happy now

I hope you know I’m happy now

'Cause I know you know I’m happy now

And I know I know I’m happy now

This is the last time that I’ll compromise

And you can keep what’s left of your dignity

I’ll take my chances chasing down what’s mine

And you’ll be here

All alone
