Verse 1

Don't say you miss

me yet I must concede

There's something

 I have to explain

It isn't easy playing your way

I can't even begin to say

Refrain 1

Growl:

I'm taking back my conscience

I'm gonna take control

Verse 2

lions shy away

I've seen the tallest

 tress fall down

I've made a hobby

of self-deprecating

my honesty and my integrity

Refrain 2

Don't let me drag you down

Chorus 1

Don't say goodnight

say goodbye

(say goodbye)

You can't fix

 a shattered heart

Don't even try

Verse 3

I'll sell you every

ounce of honesty

you'll buy it all

 and lie with me

I can't pretend there's

any truth to me

It's all just

 vanity and greed

I'm taking all your karma

I'm gonna need it more
