cold shoulders

what would you do if everything you've ever wanted

was the reason that you couldn't sleep?

what would you say if everything you've ever hated

slept in your bed

stealing the air that you breathe?

it's hard to feel like

heaven's close when

the devil lives next door

but now i'm moving on

i let you in to build me up

just to tear me down

i let you in to build me up

just to watch be drown

you paint that smile on your face

'cause it's your favorite hiding place

but i'll find you

i'll always be the one you

fought to lose

was i too much for you?

i didn't need to hear it

you said it loud and clear when

you withdrew yourself from my life

i watched you do so much for others

but can the others say the same?

at least you have one another

you can both share in the blame

but now i'm moving on

i let you in to build me up

just to tear me down

i let you in to build me up

just to watch be drown

you paint that smile on your face

'cause it's your favorite hiding place

but i'll find you

i'll always be the one you

fought to lose

if i hear you singing along

you'll be

you'll be admitting you're wrong

if there is one thing i know that is sad

it's i'm better than you'll ever have

fight it

deny it

you know that you're lying

when you say they're better than me

cause i need something more

than cold shoulders and closed doors

cause i mean so much more

than the drop in the bucket

that you fell in love with

it's hard to feel like

heaven's close when

i let you in to build me up

just to tear me down

i let you in to build me up

just to watch be drown

you paint that smile on your face

'cause it's your favorite hiding place

but i'll find you

i'll always be the one you

fought to lose

i'll always be that piece you couldn't chew

i'll always be the one you fought to lose
