I'd rather beg your forgiveness than solicit permission
I'd rather know that it broke your heart than doubt that it will
Every time we divide we put zeros under the line
And we publish it as our proof that nothingness is divine

I can't find a way to grind your heart to a halt
It was probably just the wind
I don't ruin you like I did

I would rather be jealous man than an off duty cop
I tried to be a babe-in-arms
Not a bull in a china shop

A sheep in wolf's clothes
I'm a hangman without a rope
Who am I trying to kid?
I don't ruin you like I did

When you live your life being scared to death
Then you might as well be wounded
If you spend your nights being short of breath
Then I'll keep these shadows moving

(If only you could see me now)
If only you could see me
I'll take what I can get even if it's restraining
Orders
Hold your fire
What do you take me for?
What do you take me for?
Did you think I could garner attention with tact?
What do you take me for?
What am I trying to prove?
What have I done to you?
Left at the altar and asked for a bed
What did I expect you to do?

Give me an audience
Black, loveless eyes
I have hundreds of costumes but not one disguise
Places everyone
Fangs out

I'd rather bed your forgiveness than solicit permission
I'd rather know that it broke your heart
Than doubt that it will

I would rather be jealous man than an off duty cop
I tried to be a babe-in-arms
Not a bull in a china shop

I will see you in the dark
I will see you in the dark

A castrated stranger with candy hearts
