lyrics

I see them on your tongue
The words like a loaded gun
But you can't get it done
Just say the words
What's done is done

You say the timing's wrong
You need to be alone
You serve me every food
Except the truth
Accept the truth

Honey, just shut your mouth and speak to me
Do you ever say what you really mean?
No, you only make it worse
You wanna make it hurt the worst

I'm a dog still on your leash
Being dragged some fifty feet
You gotta cut me free
The two of us
Just let it be

Just shut your mouth and speak to me
Do you ever say what you really mean?
No, you only make it worse
You wanna make it hurt the worst
Just make the cut and let me bleed
Anything's better than the in between
Do you ever say what you really mean?
You only make it worse
You wanna make it hurt the worst

Just make the cut

Just shut your mouth and speak to me
Do you ever say what you really mean?
No, you only make it worse
You wanna make it hurt the worst
Just make the cut and let me bleed
Cuz anything's better than the in between
You only make it worse
You wanna make it hurt the worst
