lyrics

You wouldn't look me in the eyes when you took me by quite the surprise,
and when you said you wouldn't lie, I knew I was lost, forever buried under your skin.

And when you've done too much i will cut you off.

And then i'm okay--I love it when i'm okay--
Because today is a better day, today is a better day.
But when everyday becomes a bitter way
to continue down the path that we make.

And when you've done too much i will cut you off.

But i'm gone forever, and I love you to death.
Your presence will kill me, and enough has been said.
I'll remember forever the hate that you bring--
Your mental issues and the chemicals you create.

And when you've done too much i will cut you off.
