DNA

[Verse 1] Maybe I couldn't give you Everything that you want Maybe I should have put your feelings first For once 'Cause I will want what I can't get Till I'm dead in the ground And the light that you hold Goes out [Verse 2] If I send a letter Would you read it alone? Am I still a contender Or have you moved on? 'Cause I've been trapped in my glass house So long on my own I'm so glad that you threw Your stone You wrote upon it, "You're the one" It said upon it, "You're the one" [Chorus] And the tears you can taste Are not just DNA I watched our luck decay And like a bird I preyed I'm a virus and you're The placebo, not the cure No, no, that strain you can't erase It's in my DNA [Verse 3] Maybe I'm outnumbered Well, I won't be outgunned I rise from the ashes, I won't sink In the mud 'Cause we're not just ones and zeros We're so much more And you've gotta find out Or the credits roll [Chorus] And the tears you can taste Are not just DNA I watched our luck decay And like a bird I preyed I'm a virus and you're The placebo, not the cure Its poison never works It only makes me worse [Chorus] And the tears you can taste Are not just DNA They showed that we're the same And I washed them all away 'Cause I'm a virus and you're Out looking for the cure No, no, that strain you can't erase It's in my DNA That strain you can't erase It's in my DNA
