lyrics

Am I just a voice? Am I just a face?
Cause I'm not the woman you want in your space
Gratified you don't lie, or pretend that you care
Cause I'm just a woman who wasn't prepared

For being alone, or how long that would last
And when I met you I thought that that time had past

You're just another knot in a long string of heartache
I got my hopes up and you carried me down
Think I'll stay down here at least for a moment
And look on the brightside when I stand up there's nobody keeping me tied.

Perhaps it's bravado that lets me breath in
After a punch in the gut, your fist in my skin
Your words like a hymn, that I sing to myself
They tear through my skin, it's how I pay for my sins.

I've heard it before and I'll hear it again
You think that I'm rad but you'd rather hear me sing.

You're just another knot in a long string of heartache
I got my hopes up and you carried me down
Think I'll stay down here at least for a moment
And look on the brightside when I stand up there's nobody keeping me tied.
