Getting Out

(album: Love & War - 2009)

Yesterday I made you cry
It didn't even phase me when your tears rolled down
I was so convinced that I was right
That you never even tried to bring me 'round

And these rules are getting tangled in my body
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out

Look at what you made do
I was only trying to save the world that I forgot about asking you
But look at what you made me say
I'm using crosswords on the radio telling you to change your ways

Look at what I've become
Thought I was everything you dreamed of
But you were dreaming of getting out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch

Nicotine and alcohol
Anything to fill the hole 'cause it's all too much
There's nothing I can talk about
Of course I'm gonna shut you out

I can hardly blame you 'cause you got me stuck, yeah
But these rules are getting tangled in my body
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out

Look at what you made do
I was just about to save the world that I forgot about asking you
But look at what you made me say
I'm using crosswords on the radio telling you to change your ways

And look at what I've become
Thought I was everything you dreamed of
But you were dreaming of getting out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch because of you

I made you fly away, made you leave today but you never know
How these rules got tangled in our bodies
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out

But look at what you made do
I was just about to save the world that I forgot about asking you
But look at what you made me say
I'm using crosswords on the radio telling you to change your ways

And look at what I've become
Thought I was everything you dreamed of
But you were dreaming of getting out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch because of you
