It's time I said this
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.
Well this is bye-bye baby
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.
But can I have one second of your time?
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.
As I drop to my knees and scream,
I hate you more than you could know.
I hope you fall into the ocean
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
As the waves crash over you until you drown.
(And fall away..)
And hold a funeral for nothing
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
Now it's back to reality
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.
It's not supposed to hurt this much
But when someone slowly breaks it off
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.
Could I have one second of your time?
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
As I drop to my knees and scream,
I hate you more than you could know.
I hope you fall into the ocean
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
As the waves crash over you until you drown.
(And fall away..)
And hold a funeral for nothing
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
Underground..
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.
I need to get a few things off my chest.
There's got to be another way I can say it,
But to get it right, I have to think straight.
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
When you won't listen at all.
I hope you fall into the ocean
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown.
And hold a funeral for nothing
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground.
