You want a war?

I've been working hard, But it's hardly working
My heart's in your hands; sing "arteries, hurting".
I can smell him on you, the stench of every kiss
You swore you'd be mine, but you're always his
Now i'm staying up til' late, painting words to this page
and i'll keep on keeping on
"I have to go" you say, "don't stand in my way"
"Get up from your knees, you'll just push me away"
"please don't say please, step away from the door"
Hide away the keys - "what you do that for?"
I'll admit to my mistakes and the man they've made me be
The only words I can't explain are the ones that you'd believe

It seems these days the grip around my pinky is that little bit lighter
I'd bring it up in conversation,but I don't wanna fight her
Now and then I'm a little bit frightened
The space between our palms has widened
our fingers always pointing at the enemy
Remember the days she was nothing but a friend of me.
She left me kisses in the mirror in her lipstick.
Never thought I'd see the day my clothes would be ripped into six fifths.
in the reflection of my room she had written down six digits,
and despite my appetite I couldn't quite deal with it.
So she left me a message to say goodbye
and i said "don't go, you're the apple of my eye."
She don't wanna stay, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna hurt her no more
I don't wanna go, she don't wanna stay, I can only stand in her way.
I can't help but love her when shes in my christmas jumper,
Taking cautious sips out of that starbucks that I bought for her
To replace the things I broke just like I broke her trust and heart;
playing hearts, playing hearts, playing hearts is never smart.
You shouldn't tell me that you want me if you don't do
Should not react to what I do or what I do not do
So let's pretend that we never existed
Leave it all behind, since you insisted upon it.
I wanna wake up where you are but my hearts in my mouth and the words they wont come out

I'm full of excuses for all of my flaws
I'm handling hearts like they don't matter at all
I can't be held responsible
For everything that I ever did wrong.
and I'm sorry but I wont apologise for crossing my heart with no desire to die
We'll be discreet in these sheets
So just let your chest decompress
I could never lie, I'll only lie here next to you
We are syllables and we are silhouettes
and I'm sorry but I wont apologise for crossing my heart with no desire to die
If I loved you then I would have let you go by now.
