Biting Bullets

Biting Bullets
Did you know you were the girl
That made me hate blond hair and I
Just can't wait to make you hate me a little more
And every night that I spend
With bloodshot eyes and no end
And enough excuses here to bury me alive

So here I am
A love-worn masochist
With hearts carved straight across my chest
Letting the carpet soak up all that's left to give
Will you swear you won't be sleepin'
'Cause I can't begin to dream to shut my eyes
And I'm biting bullets and watching phones
For no apparent reason
And I don't think that I'll make it out alive
Did you know you were the girl
That made love a four letter word
I just can't wait to make you hate me a little more
You made my head a mess
With the life of doctors notes
And ink blot tests
And enough empty bottles to bury me alive
So here I am
A love-worn masochist
With hearts carved straight across my chest
Letting the carpet soak up all that's left to give
Will you swear you won't be sleepin'
'Cause I can't begin to dream to shut my eyes
And I'm biting bullets and watching phones
For no apparent reason
And I don't think that I'll make it out alive

When a smile is a close call
And my words caught in my throat
I'm an inch away from dying
And I'm lucky if I choke
When a smile is a close call (I wear my heart)
And my words caught in my throat (on my sleeve)
I'm an inch away from dying (and you'll still)
And I'm lucky if I choke (walk right by me)
So here I am
A love-worn masochist
With hearts carved straight across my chest
Letting the carpet soak up all that's left to give
Will you swear you won't be sleepin'
(I wear my heart on my sleeve)
'Cause I can't begin to dream to shut my eyes
(and you'll still walk right by me)
And I'm biting bullets and watching phones
(I wear my heart on my sleeve)
For no apparent reason
(and you'll still walk right by me)
And I don't think that I'll make it out alive
No, I don't think that I'll make it out alive
