lyrics

So now, I'm a traitor. Yeah, the worst kind. I've been playing both sides the entire time. I even fooled myself, so when I sold you lines, I was sure I was right. But all my favorite writers believed in fate and it's just too perfect for me to take. I mean, believe what you need, whatever helps you cover up the taste. So we met like cadavers, our gurneys passed in the hospital hall. Yeah, we were riding that elevator down as far as it goes. And you spent a week in hell with the devil slipping you pills to keep you scared, to keep you there. And you spent a week in hell with the devil slipping you pills to keep you scared, just to keep you there. And there were beautiful bodies thrown across my bed and I just panicked, so now everyone is screaming and their guns are drawn but you still heard me whisper, "Yeah, go on, go on, go on. We were never in love." Yeah, we were never in love. I mean, I don't know, I never knew, but I just held my tongue. But it was never enough, you're still squaring me up. So I just blacked it out and you snuffed it out til there was nothing left to speak of. We were never in love. Yeah, we were never in love. I mean, I don't know, maybe I never will, so I'll just hold my tongue til we just can't call it love. Aw, we just can't call it love, and if that was my chance, yeah, if I fucked it up then I guess I will never be in love. Yeah, I will never be in love.
