"Unravel" lyrics

You were silent the whole drive home
I gave you one last ultimatum at the doorway
And I would die swearing this complex is haunted
But I'd stick around to hear you fight for me to stay

If I said I loved you, would you twist it like a knife?
Without you I'd atrophy, would I rather ache or die?

You make me feel like a fool for even trying
I'm falling when you're flying
You'll catch me in your arms too late
Took my head off of your chest
I just faded when you left and
Told everyone that I'd take the blame

Some days I think to the beginning
Of all the good parts that have kept me in place
I painted green over the reddest flags
And called it romance when it was just a mistake (Ha-ah-ooo-ah)

Pictures of you on my nightstand, scotch tape on the wall (Leave them up or tear them down)
Leave them up or tear them down, nothing changes left beneath it all

You make me feel like a fool for even trying
I'm falling when you're flying
You'll catch me in your arms too late
Took my head off of your chest
I just faded when you left and
Told everyone that I'd take the blame
I don't know who I am when I'm not in your shadow (Not in your shadow)
And everything's perfect up until you unravel ('Til you unravel)

Unravel, watch us unravel
Unravel, watch us unravel
Unravel, watch us unravel
Unravel, watch us unravel

You make me feel like a kid, like I'm something you put up with
I finally understand that I can't make you a better man
Sacrifice my peace of mind to convince you you're worth my time
Fighting every uphill battle, waiting watching you unravel

You made me feel like a fool
You made me feel like a fool
But I don't know who I am when I'm not in your shadow (Not in your shadow)
And everything was perfect up until you unraveled ('Til you unraveled)
