lyrics

You have a misjudged idea of your place in this world
I’m not your fool not your child no more your little girl
I’m tired of making excuses I’m tired of your lies
How long did you think that we’d keep on closing our eyes
You want me to beg you want me to be cruel
You want me to bleed you want me the fool
But roses are red and violence is blue
Sugar is sweet and you are just you
I’ve learned that it suits you well when I’m down on my knees
And I know you only believe what you want to believe
I blame you for it all you were too small to see the possibilities
You know how hard I try so realise that sometimes all there is is me
And nothing I can say will make you change will make you see what you’ve become
You reinvent the truth so what’s the use you’re never shamed you're never wrong
I’m not in the mood for a scene a blood-letting today
So give me a break and give me back my tourniquet
Just walk away I won’t ask you to stay move along
You are a second a moment in time not the one
