 Pardon me for saying  so, but you look more pitiful
 Than I had ever  imagined, despite perfect fashion
 And your photographs  depict you so differently.
 I always thought  you would be some sort of match for me.
So  let's decide  who  can survive
Stomping  feet and racing  beats of hearts  that don't ever  slow.
Then  I'll write  letters on  white paper  expressing,
 My deep  dissapointment.
Dripping  where I stand from my watery  hands, hoping to get past the open  bedroom door,
 Where her clothes  on the floor remind me of our conversation,
 The feeling of slight  hesitation
 To turn  out the light.
Fourteen  days now since we started to complicate  the situation.
I'm  not hiding I'm just buying some time  for us to find the back door.
We  will come  out when  it's safe  for us.
When  it's safe  for us..
When  it's safe  for us
There's  nothing left to say to excuse the way  that I've behaved.
 I still feel  him gripping  like a stain
 To fabric, torn  at every seam,
 Then thrown  away
Why  should I take all  the blame for my  mistakes? You  were there with every
 promise made  to break.
When  did you become  the one without  regret?
Kill  me burn me down
 I swear I  won't forget.
When  did you become  the one without  regret?
Kill  me burn me down
 I swear I won't  forget.

[Dm], [C], [G], [A#]     4x's

Pardon me for [Dm]saying so, but you look more pitiful
Than I had e[G]ver imagined, despite perfect fashion
And your pho[Dm]tographs depict you so differently.
I always tho[G]ught you would be some sort of match for me.

[Dm]So let's d[C]ecide w[G]ho can [A#]survive
[Dm]Stomping feet and [C]racing beats of [G]hearts that don't [A#]ever slow.
[Dm]Then I'll w[C]rite le[G]tters [A#]on white [Dm]paper exp[C]ressing,
My d[G]eep dissapo[A#]intment.

[Dm]Dripping where I stand from my [G]watery hands, hoping to get past the o[Dm]pen bedroom door,
Where her cl[G]othes on the floor remind me of our conv[Gm]ersation,
The feeling of sl[C]ight hesi[Gm]tation
To tu[F]rn out the li[C]ght.

[Dm]Fourteen days now since we started to c[G]omplicate the situation.
[Dm]I'm not hiding I'm just buying some [G]time for us to find the back door.
[Dm]We will [C]come out wh[A#]en it's s[F]afe for us.

[Dm]There's nothing left to say to excuse the w[C]ay that I've beh[A#]aved.   [F]
I still fe[C]el him gr[Dm]ipping like a stain
To fabric, t[C]orn at every se[A#]am,   [F]
Then throw[A]n away        [Dm]

[A#]Why should I take a[C]ll the blame for m[Dm]y mistakes? Yo[A#]u were there with e[C]very
promise m[Dm]ade to break.
[A#]When did you beco[C]me the one with[Dm]out regret?
[A#]Kill me burn me do[C]wn
I swear I[Dm] won't forget.
[A#]When did you be[C]come the one with[Dm]out regret?
[A#]Kill me burn me [C]down
I swear I w[Dm]on't forget.
