lyrics

Oh, I can't help but see...
This grand distraction from,
the things we think we need,
well what are you running from?
Is it the thought of me?
and the things we used to do.
But that just can't be true,
so what does it mean to you?

And maybe we'll take this gun away from my head,
maybe we'll talk again and realize,
that maybe this thing here ain't half bad,
maybe we'll talk again and realize...

So curse me now,
like I'm a ghost in your veins,
a hex without a name,
a good reminder of,
the bad blood that remains.
Is this what you want?
Hate breaking down your frame.
Is that all you've got?
Because it still feels the same.

And maybe we'll take this gun away from my head,
maybe we'll talk again and realize,
that maybe this thing here ain't half bad,
maybe we'll talk again and realize...

maybe we'll talk again and realize...
maybe we'll talk again and realize...

and I can't hardly say...
and I can't hardly say...

And maybe we'll take this gun away from my head,
maybe we'll talk again and realize,
that maybe this thing here ain't half bad,
maybe we'll talk again and realize...

maybe we'll talk again and realize...
and I can't hardly say..
