It was on our wedding day
When my heart began to stray
Never thought I'd make
such a big mistake
Throw my life away
beat swtiched from standard 4/4 to 3/4
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without
sleep Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't
Ebm B C-- B--
heal It's all your fault
I've been shattered and wrecked
My hands covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
Now I'm weak with deceit
My skin is paper thin
We get through this
Feeling it keeping
it holding it in
We go through this
Over and over again
Sing:
I'd go years without tears
In a life with no fear
A life without you
Now I'm breaking my back
as I cover my tracks
My skin is paper thin
Growl:
once again
(Repeat Chorus)
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without
sleep Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't
heal It's all your fault
Sing:
My American dream
Wasn't ever to
Growl:
lie and steal and cheat
Sing:
He won't leave
her for this
What's the point?
Growl:
(I wish they would die)
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Growl:
This was not a test
This was all for real
(Repeat x3)
This was not a test
This was all for real
