The Ransom

He softly told you everything

He never knew you didn't care

Break his heart again, smile and prepare

For all the words he screams

Give him a reason

Anything but silence or the truth

He'll hate you now

Remember how he held you for

All those lonely nights

You know you shared and remember

How you never cared about anything he said

Well now he's dead to you

So bury him instead

Word's out I'm not the man I used to be

You knew it all along

That I felt this way

I put in this song

Tear me apart for pouring out my heart

You know it wouldn't phase you in the least

I hate you now

Remember how I held you for

All those lonely nights

You know we shared and remember

How you never cared about anything I said

Now I'm dead to you

So bury me instead

So here's the one

(About every heart you stole)

You're so sure

(That you're not a thief at all)

Because I'm the one who's stealing you

But this ransom's overdue

And everything that's in me says that

I hate you now

Remember how I held you for

All those lonely nights

You know we shared and remember

How you never cared about anything I said

And now I'm dead to you

So bury me instead
