"symbol" lyrics

Nobody said you had to run
Pull the trigger, point the gun
When did all this turn to dust?
I'll do the best I can, touch me again
And set my lungs on fire
Set my lungs on fire

And I could've been, I could've been
Whatever you want me to be
And I was a friend, I was a friend
But I was the one on my knees
And this is the end, this is the end
You made it clear from the get-go
Let's do it again, do it again
All I am to you is a symbol

We met in the back of the car
And we made up love in the dark
And fuck all the history, baby
I wish that you could be the one that was missin' me
And you got the clothes
You got the time
You got the space
And you got the friends
Give me my soul back
I'm alive
I'm in a place where you never have been

Doc, give me something to go numb
All I wanted was your love
My soul is empty, fill me up
All I wanted was your love
Doc, give me something to go numb
All I wanted was your love
My soul is empty, fill me up
All I wanted was your love

And I could've been, I could've been
Whatever you want me to be
And I was a friend, I was a friend
But I was the one on my knees
And this is the end, this is the end
You made it clear from the get-go
Let's do it again, do it again
All I am to you is a symbol

Oh, babe you know I know
And if you're happy then you're happy
But you know I need to go
Wear that heart of gold
Oh, babe you know I know
And if you're happy then you're happy
But you know I need to go
Wear that heart of gold

And I could've been, I could've been
Whatever you want me to be
And I was a friend, I was a friend
But I was the one on my knees
And this is the end, this is the end
You made it clear from the get-go
Let's do it again, do it again
All I am to you is a symbol

And I could've been, I could've been
Whatever you want me to be
And I was a friend, I was a friend
But I was the one on my knees
And this is the end, this is the end
You made it clear from the get-go
Let's do it again, do it again
All I am to you is a symbol
