(First verse)

I tried so hard to give you

what you wanted (what you wanted)

Everything within my reach

was yours for the taking (yeah ye-ah)


(Bridge)

And every time I reach out

You take off my figures one by one (one by one)

I am stuck outside your world

without a way to open up your door (one by one)


(Second verse)

No matter what you bring to me

I won't take your blame

You're looking for another lie that fits

and it's all the same

So for once let's just

cut out all this shit

and do this thing for real

but don't you hesitate

cause I'd love to change my mind


(Chorus)

And I opened my eyes in the dark and all I've ever seen

Is the bullshit, pain, and suffering that your fear has come to be

I have lived my life for you and I regret it to this day

Many times I bled for you

you never eased my pain (pain)

One by one (on by one)


(Third verse)

I tried so hard to give you

what you wanted (what you wanted)

Everything within my reach

was yours for the taking... again

It's clear to me that you never cared

And I will never play your game

cause I lose them one by one.


(Bridge)

So if you want to be alone

just go cause they're lining up for me

And one by one they stand and fall

and you will never see my face again


(Chorus)

And I opened my eyes in the dark and all I've ever seen

Is the bullshit, pain, and suffering that your fear has come to be

I have lived my life for you and I regret it to this day

Many times I bled for you

you never eased my pain (pain)

One by one (on by one)
