Hello

(album: Infidelity In The Throne Room - 2012)

Hello, can you make me feel good
I am so ashamed, I broke another heart to help me heal the pain
Can you just say the things I really need to hear
Can you just look my way and say hello?
Hello
Hello
Hello, hello, hello

I'm sorry about the pain that I caused you, for real
We never talked about it but I know you know the deal
And it weighs on me, yeah it weighs on me heavy
But it really had to happen, couldn't wait 'till we were ready
Man, it's fucked up, I think about you all the time and all the shit we shut down and all the wine we drank
Uh, I think you might've really been the one
Pouring liquor in the juice and beat you to the punch, cause I had to
Can you remember what I said when I held you by the hair and you cried on my shirt?
We gotta do what's right, what's right
Not what doesn't hurt
Uh, I think about it often, I spend a lot of time thinking 'bout the options
I guess there wasn't any, we were fucking plenty
But when we weren't we were fucking with each other steady
It wasn't right, it really wasn't and I'm positive I loved you cause my skin is hard to cut through and I'm bleeding in this motherfucker
Yeah, I'm bleeding right now, tryna make sure that I can breathe right now
Cause nothing feels real right now, I just really need to let it go and heal right now
I'm just staring at my cell phone, wishing you would call and say...

Hello, can you make me feel good
I am so ashamed, I broke another heart to help me heal the pain
Can you just say the things I really need to hear
Can you just look my way and say hello?
Hello
Hello
Hello, hello, hello

She scared of everything with her silly little superstitions
They think she got it good, they so superficial
She signs her name with a heart after her initials
And she fills her empty spaces with gold bracelets and crystals
I try to tell her all that glitters isn't gold
She should hold onto her father's hand until the day she's old enough
She'll probably let go, I mean they all do
They scream from the roof 'till they fall through
And when the rumors start rolling in about who she been rolling with she'll holler at me quick and say that she just can't control it
I hate to say it but Imma tell her that she's outta gas, she walked to hell and back
I hate all that mascara when it's runnin, it reminds me of the monster that I'm gradually becoming
Fucking hate when I see her with my eyes closed
I wish she would call and say...

Hello, can you make me feel good
I am so ashamed, I broke another heart to help me heal the pain
Can you just say the things I really need to hear
Can you just look my way and say hello?
Hello
Hello
Hello, hello, hello
