This Jagged Alibi

this is the thorn in your side
the knife in your back
the answer to
everything we thought we'd never know
we ask questions with our hearts crossed in our minds
anticipated in this jagged alibi
and I have no say in this cold night sky
anticipate it in this jagged alibi
and you can shut me out
but this is all I ask of you in return
kept alive you drag me by/set me free so I can die awake in your world
and I could be the mirror image shadowed up against the wall tonight
it's getting cold while we sit in the background
and see our lives just scribbled all across these pages
lists for you
shut me out
you can save the best for...
and if this is just your average number
I am all but warned and insecure/this is the thorn in your side
can you taste defeat in these words?
why are you closing my heart
this song is breaking my heart
you pierce the summer with the winter's hatred all year
because it's a heartbeat
and it's all I have...
