Leave You In The Past

What would happen if I caught your eye?
Would you look away or give me that smile?
The one that makes it hard to breathe
the one that puts you out of reach
I try to cover it up by crying in the rain
but even that won't hide the pain
The book I'm reading has your name in it
and I think of how unfair it is

How did you manage to come out unharmed?
How did you escape without even a scar?
Did you suffer at all?
Did I break down your walls?
If you could do it all over again,
would you take the chance?
I know that we can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

I wish you would have made up your mind
I wish it was the other way around
but I wanted to believe
that you were the one star I could reach
but before I got a hold on this
It slipped right through my fingertips
I hope you're happy being oblivious
while I'm no better at being miserable

How did you manage to come out unharmed?
How did you escape without even a scar?
Did you suffer at all?
Did I break down your walls?
If you could do it all over again,
would you take the chance?
I know that we can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

I've put up my walls, no one gets in
I've turned so cold, my heart is frozen
I'm tired of being let down
I'm tired of pulling myself off the ground
I die one small piece at a time
until I'm dead on the inside
I think it's time I said goodbye
It's about time I started to feel alive

I'm not saying I came out unharmed
I couldn't escape without a scar
I just can't keep waiting for an "us"
Depending on you is never enough
If I could do it all over again
I don't think I'd take that chance
We can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

The Theft

There's nothing they can do
There is no case if there is no proof
They're looking in all the wrong places
They're looking at all the wrong faces

I can't eat
I can't breathe
I know you're coming back here
to take what's left of me
What's left of me

I watch and wait in the dead of the night
Silently daring you to come inside
I tried so hard to protect myself
I put myself through my own personal hell

I can't eat
I can't breathe
I know you're coming back here
to take what's left of me
What's left of me

It wasn't yours for the taking
Now look at the mess you're making
I know it's a matter of time
One sound and I start to unwind
There's no sense in sneaking around
Trying not to make a sound
You won't stop until you get what you want
You won't rest until you steal my heart

I can't eat
I can't breathe
I know you're coming back here
to take what's left of me
What's left of me

If you only gave me a little more time
You wouldn't have to take what's mine
I'd give it to you willingly
but you just couldn't wait for me

Mercy

I gave you two chances to do right
and you threw them back at me
I'm not the one to blame here
and I'll show your crimes on the witness stand
There's a newfound strength inside me
I'll be damned if I let you off the hook
That gnawing feeling in the back of your mind
I hope that's you feeling guilty

If I ever see you again
I hope you ask for my forgiveness
Get down on your knees
start begging me please
Beg me for mercy
Oh, sweet angel of mercy
Sweet angel of mercy
Angel of mercy

I know I should be the bigger person
and simply learn to forgive and forget
but after the pain you put me through
I can't drop the charges yet
I want to bring you as low as you brought me
I want you to feel the same pain I felt
I hope you feel the stabbing pain in your heart
and you're so broken down, you're so helpless

If I ever see you again
I hope you ask for forgiveness
Get down your knees
start begging me please
Beg me for mercy
Oh, sweet angel of mercy
Sweet angel of mercy
Angel of mercy

Look up to me
Hang on to every word I say
Wonder why I haven't called yet
and think about me every day

I want you to know what this feels like
Can you rely on me?
Dissect every word to see if they're lies
and figure out which to believe
This all sounds familiar
We've been here before
But I'll be the one to leave you hanging
Leave you wanting more

If I ever see you again
I hope you ask for my forgiveness
Get down on your knees
start begging me please
Beg me for mercy
Oh, sweet angel of mercy
Sweet angel of mercy
Angel of mercy

Angel of mercy
I am your angel of mercy

Coward

I see the questions in your eyes
The words dying on your tongue
Ask me the truth, I'll tell you no lies
When you ask me how I'm doing
and I tell you I'm fine
You should read a little more into it

When I leave, I won't look back
Call me the coward we both know I am

I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
Running away

Tomorrow you'll wake to an empty bed
You're read this letter and try to catch me
But I'm too far gone, too far ahead
I couldn't stand to do this to your face
I have to leave without you catching me
because I know you'll get me to stay

When I leave, I won't look back
Call me the coward we both know I am

I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
Running away

I know you'll call my phone
and you know I won't pick it up
I'll avoid the confrontation
When I leave, I'm not looking back
Call me the coward we both know I am
When I close your door, I won't open it again
Call me the coward we both know I am

I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
Running away

It All Fell Apart

You've got a way of making me feel weak
I've got a way of putting my mind on repeat
You always said it was a secret only we knew
but what kind of friend does that make you?
To hide your feelings for your best friend's ex
Should I be happy that you risked your neck?
I wonder if you remember
I wonder if you remember
Do you remember?

In the backseat of your car
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be

I had a feeling my trust in you was undeserving
I had a feeling that it wasn't worth it
You're like a spider, always spinning a web
I'm caught, you always know my weakness
You give me no other choice, I can't stay
I can't stay here to watch you run away
I wonder if you remember
I wonder if you remember
Do you remember

In the backseat of your car
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be

I wonder if you feel guilty sometimes
If you see my face when you look in her eyes
All I want is an apology
because the one who sacrificed was me
I don't know what I ever saw in you
but I'm not the only one that you had fooled

Do you remember?
I hope you remember

In the backseat of your car
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car,
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be

In the backseat of your
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be
