Biting Bullets

Did you know you were the girl

that made me hate blond hair and I

just can't wait to make you hate me a little more

and everynight that I spend

with bloodshot eyes and no end

and enough excuses here to bury me alive

so here I am

a love worn masochist

with hearts carved straight across my chest

letting the carpet soak up all that's left to give

Will you swear you won't be sleepin'

cause I can't begin to dream to shut my eyes

and I'm biting bullets and watching phones

for no apparent reason

and I don't think that I'll make it out alive

Did you know you were the girl

that made love a four letter word

I just can't wait to make you hate me a little more

you made my head a mess

with the life of doctors notes

and ink blot tests

and enough empty bottles to bury me alive

so here I am

a love worn masochist

with hearts carved straight across my chest

letting the carpet soak up all that's left to give

Will you swear you won't be sleepin'

cause I can't begin to dream to shut my eyes

and I'm biting bullets and watching phones

for no apparent reason

and I don't think that I'll make it out alive

When a smile is a close call

and my words caught in my throat

I'm an inch away from dying

and I'm lucky if I choke

When a smile is a close call(I wear my heart)

and my words caught in my throat (on my sleeve)

I'm an inch away from dying (and you'll still)

and I'm lucky if I choke (walk right by me)

so here I am

a love worn masochist

with hearts carved straight across my chest

letting the carpet soak up all that's left to give

Will you swear you won't be sleepin'

(I wear my heart on my sleeve)

cause I can't begin to dream to shut my eyes

(and you'll still walk right by me)

and I'm biting bullets and watching phones

(I wear my heart on my sleeve)

for no apparent reason

(and you'll still walk right by me)

and I don't think that I'll make it out alive

no, I don't think that I'll make it out alive
