Shallow Tragedy

Please take this out on me
Exhale every point you ever tried to prove
Oh honey, I've met girls like you
Who twist knives just for fun
Amplify those inhibitions I can't see
I'm standing when he used to be

But it seems I've missed the point
Fallen short of the mark

Darling, I've been grieving
This love's nowhere to go
I'm either pleading
Or sinking like a stone
You said that I'd be better off
But I'm still reeling from the shock

So keep those wandering eyes
Every single second of my precious time
I've wasted on these fucking lines

I have missed the point
Fallen short of the mark
Cast out like the rest
Just the ticking of a box

Darling, I've been grieving
This love's nowhere to go
I'm either pleading
Or sinking like a stone
You said that I'd be better off
But I'm still reeling from the shock

I don't mean to be
I don't mean to be so crude
I don't mean to be
I don't mean to be so crude
I don't mean to be
I don't mean to be so crude
I don't mean to be
No, I don't mean to be so crude
It's what you drive me to

Darling, I've been grieving
This love's nowhere to go
I'm either pleading
Or sinking like a stone
You said that I'd be better off
But I'm still reeling from the shock
Oh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
But it's the only thing I've got
