lyrics

Oh my God.
Is this punishment for the life I live?
Because I can’t be anything for anyone.

When you drown
You won’t be worth the breath it takes to save you
On my way down
I hit every single low possible
When I found you out
You were shocked, you were stunned
With an open mouth
You looked like a bitch in front of everyone

Oh my God.
Is this punishment for the life I live?
Because I can’t be anything for anyone.
And I’m sick
Of all your skeletons
You want to cover them with skin
But you can hide this when you’re dead

When you drown
You won’t be worth the breath it takes to save you
On my way down
I was too far gone, you couldn’t save me
When I found you out
You were shocked, you were stunned
With an open mouth
I looked like a fool in front of everyone

And I screamed and prayed for salvation
But I didn’t mean it
I just wanted to sleep again at night and
You begged, you pled for forgiveness
But you didn’t mean it
You just wanted to sleep again at night

I screamed and prayed for salvation
But I didn’t mean it
I just wanted to sleep again at night and
You begged, you pled for forgiveness
But you didn’t mean it
You just wanted to sleep again at night
You just wanted to sleep again at night
and I hope that you can’t sleep at night
I hope you don’t wake up

Oh my God.
Is this punishment for the life I live?
Because I can’t be anything for anyone.
And I’m sick
Of all your skeletons
You want to cover them with skin
But you can hide this when you’re dead
