please don't say that
they're breaking my heart
i'm tearing myself apart and they're just watching

who needs them anyway
come on, we're leaving

brushing hair out of my face
"we'll prove them all wrong."

i wonder how long that promise will last
you'll get bored eventually
they all do, in the end

i'll just wait out the next few years
their words are all lies anyway
it burns, it stings, it pierces

slicing away, they don't even care

i'm bound by my word, though
