The Verb

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What's the verb to cut it off? To take a knife and hack away at it? You keep saying, well, that's the last time You'll pretend to stand aside no matter what we did I'm not playing All in all then just enough to Keep us sliding back to where we were I'm not waiting That's the last time you'll get friends who Will tell you that you walked away with it When you barely scraped through [Chorus] I'm tired of fighting, she said Your words just rattle my head All joy escapes in the dark And I can't make this make sense Your words are lost to me now I cannot take it, I'm out I'm stuck here kidding myself 'Cause you're out there caring somewhere [Verse 2] So what's the verb to kick it off? To take the time and walk away from it? I'm not playing That'll never sit with us well We're far too pious to get out of it And we're on our way [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I'm tired of fighting, you said Your words just rattle my head All joy's escaped in the dark And I can't make this make sense Your thoughts are lost to me now I cannot take it, I'm out I'm stuck here killing myself You're out there drinking somewhere (Stand on the spot, work out where you are and take it all from there) I'm sorry I've lost all my hope I cannot take it no more I'm stuck here kidding myself And you're out there laughing somewhere (Running away won't change anything, it only puts it off) I'll tear my heart out no more I'll burn this bridge till it's gone I'm stuck here killing myself And you're out there laughing somewhere (Stand on the spot, work out where you are and take it all from there) This joy is lost to me now I cannot take it, I'm out I'm stuck here kidding myself And you're out there drinking somewhere [Outro] Running away won't change anything, it only puts it off I'm stuck here kidding myself Stand on the spot, work out where you are and take it all from there Running away won't change anything, it only puts it off
