"Artery" lyrics

"Artery"

You walk in and out of my trust
As if it's just some thing you got for free
Oh, but there's a crack in us
And I just cannot give you love
If you don't see it

I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather have no one to call
Than to crawl right back to you
And even though it hurts to leave you this message
I can't be the one to clean up your messes
I'm through

So goodbye to your lies
To this heart ache
There's only so much I can take
I open up this artery
And cut it out so I can breathe
Or else there will be nothing left of me

You asked me to give you time
You say you're trying but it's hard to believe, oh
You just build me up to break
With all the promises you make
But you don't keep

I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather have no one to call
Than to crawl right back to you
And even though it hurts to leave you this message
I can't be the one to clean up your messes
I'm through

Goodbye to your lies
To this heart ache
There's only so much I can take
I open up this artery
And cut it up so I can breathe
Or else there will be nothing left of me
