lyrics

You said I know nothing
Well, I'm tired of your bullshit
Quit hanging around me
Stop acting like a misfit
I wish I was better
I wish I knew myself
This feeling was so saccharine
Now it's nothing heartfelt

I hope you know what it's like
This phantom pain in the night
Aching but you got no heart
I hope you don't tear yourself apart

I bet you knew better
You've always been so wise
It wouldn't matter if you felt different
I don't wanna see those delicate eyes

I hope you know what it's like
This phantom pain in the night
Aching but you got no heart
I hope you don't tear yourself apart

Don't paint the sky red with your blood
It won't make things better
Don't waste your time holding on
It'll stay the same forever

I hope you know what it's like
This phantom pain in the night
Aching but you got no heart
I hope you don't tear yourself apart
