So where have you been?
Your absence isn't quite so subtle
And what is it you've done?
The drink is no excuse for trouble
Imaginary lines you expect me to find
What am I left with to feel alive?
It's been a long time coming
It's been overrated, underwhelming
You say it's just not working
You know why that is, but you wont tell me
I'm ending this now
I'm burning this down
And if nothing else
I know I'll never settle for less than perfect
I'm telling you now
I'll tear it all down
And if nothing else
I'll never settle
So what does all this mean?
I thought this was the right direction
Another fantasy
You never had the right intentions
Imaginary lines you expect me to find
When was the last time we felt alive
It's been a long time coming
It's been overrated, underwhelming
You say it's just not working
You know why that is, but you wont tell me
I'm ending this now
I'm burning this down
And if nothing else
I know I'll never settle for less than perfect
I'm telling you now
I'll tear it all down
And if nothing else
I'll never settle
Don't say I didn't warn you
Some day maybe I'll mourn you
I'm ending this now
Never settle
It was a long time coming
It's finally over
You never took a chance with me
Your lies are just not working
I'm not buying this bullshit you're selling me
I'm ending this now
I'm burning this down
And if nothing else
I know I'll never settle for less than perfect
I'm telling you now
I'll tear it all down
And if nothing else
I'll never settle
I'll never settle for this, I won't settle for you.
