Call me bitter

Call me bitter

Call me twisted,

Watching someone else start

What I could of finished

Do you know how messed up that is?

Watching them make you laugh just like I did

Watching them do it right

When I fell short

Now how is that justice at all?

Tell me I'm not wrong

Tell me there's one more song before the lights go down

Tell me you want me around

Call me blatant

Call me a liar

Watching someone else fan our fire

Now extinguished

Do you know how hurtful that is?

Watching them make you laugh just like I did

Watching them do it right

When I fell short

Now how is that justice at all?

Tell me I'm not wrong

Tell me there's one more song before the lights go down

Tell me you want me around

heartbreak
