Call me by the name that you used to when you used to know me
Threw away your letters like I'm supposed to, how does this still hold me
Call it all awash, move along, and take a step back from it
But I can’t step back from it
I could let it go, let it all be, learn my lesson
I just keep on reading and rereading messes
If you hear all those old songs do you sing along or run far from them
Well, I can't step back from them
And who were you to tell me off, when you push me away but keep the burner on
I'd throw the game, I’d lose it all, no matter what I do for you it's all my fault
Who are you to tell me how I can and cannot feel these days
Don't say you love me like it doesn't mean a thing
Take me far away by a few years, mourn my crosses
Keep an annotated list of all the lost things
I keep setting fires to my own bridges, you call me a martyr like that's what this is
Douse it all with water, let the monster in
And who were you to tell me off, when you push me away but keep the burner on
I'd throw the game, I'd lose it all, no matter what I do for you it's all my fault
Who are you to tell me how I can and cannot feel these days
Don’t say you love me like it doesn’t mean a thing
Maybe I'm being just a little sentimental
Just a little well done, just a little ornamental
Or maybe I’ve grown just a little bolder than I was then
Maybe you ran off to drown in shallow water
Off to drink it all down, off to sacrifice and slaughter
But maybe I've grown just a little bit older than I was then
But who were you to tell me off, when you push me away but keep the burner on
I'd throw the game, I'd lose it all, no matter what I do for you it’s all my fault
Who are you to tell me how I can and cannot feel these days
Don't say you love me like it doesn't mean a thing
Threw away your letters like I'm supposed to, how does this still hold me
Call it all awash, move along, and take a step back from it
But I can’t step back from it
I could let it go, let it all be, learn my lesson
I just keep on reading and rereading messes
If you hear all those old songs do you sing along or run far from them
Well, I can't step back from them
And who were you to tell me off, when you push me away but keep the burner on
