"Bite My Tongue" lyrics

You duck from trouble
And I go all in
I'm running for it
I got lost in my mind
When you try and take me for it
Biding my time cuz I know
You'll make me suffer for it
My heart is broken in two
But I'll be tougher for it

If I'm as bad as you say
Maybe you should heed caution
In your words
One more step back
I can pull you back from the ledge
That you're walking towards

Moving closer I can't do this
The same way

I feel I've had enough
Why would I do this to myself
When I wouldn't do this
To anyone else
And I won't be disrespected
Won't be disrespected

Staring down suicide looking through your eyes
Stuck in your web of lies
Need to sever ties
A little bit levity what you ask of me
I should always be surprised
When I'm the one who bleeds
You haven't had it yet
Tell me what you've been waiting for
You're tit for tat
And I'm so sick of keeping the score

I feel I've had enough
Why would I do this to myself
When I wouldn't do this
To anyone else
And I won't be disrespected
Won't be disrespected

Moving closer
I can't do this the same
Moving closer
I can't do this the same way

I can't turn my back to you fast enough
Any more than you can turn back dust to bone
Surrender to me everything that you know
Fuck the words that you say
You know it's all in your tone
Black and white the colors finally show
Blood dark and dripping black
My heart has turned to stone
No matter how hard you try
I'll never let you get the upper hand
Falling and failing forever
You can't make a stand

I feel I've had enough
Why would I do this to myself
When I wouldn't do this
To anyone else
And I won't be disrespected
Won't be disrespected
And I take on too much
Overwhelmed at the least
While I fight for relief
And I keep telling myself
I won't be disrespected
Won't be disrespected

Moving closer
I can't do this the same
Moving closer
I can't do this the same way
