"I Refuse To Go Out Silently Tonight"
Tonight you don't feel like talking and I'll do the hard part
I'll hang up the phone, and now for the moment I am alone
Afraid and concealed behind the windows of my broken home
Awaiting the sticks and stones carelessly thrown around
("It's such a shame what's happened here")
"It's such a shame," they'll say when the body,
Bound and bloody, is found
It's days like these that destroy me --
("It's no big deal, it was just one test")
Days where I feel like no matter what I say
("I swear I never said it...")
The words will come out in a slur of misunderstanding
("Oh she left me standing at the place where we first kissed")
I count the days I'll never miss
Take down the photographs of me and you
Replace them with fake smiles, or your new
"Love of my life" infatuation's portrait
Are you feeling better yet, baby?
We've been playing Russian Roulette with my heart
Ever since we've been over
Now I know this next one's going to kill me
I can feel it in my fingers, hugging on the trigger
I know this one's going to kill me
It has to
It's days like these that destroy me --
("Forget about your hopes and dreams")
Days where I feel like no matter what I say
("I only lied to you when I said I was telling you the truth")
The words will come out in a slur of misunderstanding
("The way you treat her is draining and demanding")
I count the days I'll never miss
This is my last chance to say... what these words have meant all along
Instead of just saying "I love you", I had to write a song
But it doesn't matter, anyway, your mind's made up
But then again you taught me...
Forever means until you change your mind
To give up everything to something is a waste of time
To write a devotional means "I need a new life"
(Just get over it)
(Just get over it)
(Just get over it)
So the next time you tear me open to keep someone's attention
You better be ready to accept that as how we grew apart
(Just get over it)
And the next time you deceive me for something so sinful
You better know that my hateful heart is permanent
(Just get over it)
And the next time you tell me to die and rot in hell
You better know I'll be seeing you there soon
(Just get over it)
And the next time you tell me your dreams of her
You better know that the blood is on your hands
(Just get over it)
And the next time you threaten me with death
You better hope I don't accept your offer
Don't think I can't hate you, just because I love you
Don't think you shouldn't be sorry, just because I forgave you
Don't think that I can't leave you, just because you were the first to run
Don't think that...
It's days like these that destroy me --
("What would she want on the epitaph?")
Days where I feel like no matter what I say
("There are no words I can say to save us")
The words will come out in a slur of misunderstanding
("This time I was the one left standing")
I count the days I'll never miss (you)
And the next time you threaten me with death
You better hope I don't accept your offer
(Just get over it)
Tonight you don't feel like talking and I'll do the hard part
