Lyrics:
We both saw it coming
It was only a matter of time
Until you hit the ground running
Leaving me questioning why
You had left me with nothing
Nothing, but scars

And now I’m alone
Struggling to rebuild my walls
That you broke long ago
When you took me to be one of the fools
I don’t know what to believe in
Anymore

But how’d we end up like this? Broken souls from a kiss
Fragile hopes get shattered by the pound of your fist
When you took our whole world to break it all up

Don’t tell me a lie, don’t you say that you tried
Keep on chasing hearts, twist your own and break mine
I never thought we’d wind up down this road
But you couldn’t wait to detonate
Torching our blue skies, they’re fading away
Now you’re just a little time bomb waiting to blow

Now I swear I’m not trying
To claim that I’m some innocent victim
I’m not sitting here crying
And screaming that I know how to pick ‘em
You just won’t catch me lying
As I tell ‘em how I felt about you

And I don’t know whether
I did something to drag you down
But I knew when you met him
That you had never planned on sticking around
I’ve got to treat myself better
Than I ever did before we were two

Did I cut the wrong wire, starting a fire
And setting light to my only desire?
I should’ve ran but I got stuck in the blast

Don’t tell me a lie, don’t you say that you tried
Keep on chasing hearts, twist your own and break mine
I never thought we’d wind up down this road
But you couldn’t wait to detonate
Torching our blue skies, they’re fading away
Now you’re just a little time bomb waiting to blow

So stay with the sleazy, the players and the crazy;
Baby, I’ve heard it all before
With you, the nice guys always finish last

Don’t tell me a lie, don’t you say that you tried
Keep on chasing hearts, twist your own and break mine
I never thought we’d wind up down this road
But you couldn’t wait to detonate
Torching our blue skies, they’re fading away
Now you’re just a little time bomb waiting to blow

Or you’re finding someone else and looking to go
So you left me a grenade all set to explode
