(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)
