[Verse 1]
Carve down the edges, sand it smooth
Polish, lacquer, stain the wood
Then burn your work
It's gone and you refuse
To let it live
To live is to commit
And rumor goes you never did
So harden up the blisters on your hands
You'll bleed them on the closest thing before you let them idle
Circumstances lead to chance
And chances tend to snap
So we clear out and we stay back

[Chorus]
But you don't, you don't
And it hurts
You don't! You don't!
You just walk right up and bear it first
And hopefully it heals 'cause while we fear it will get worse
You don't, you don't
And it hurts

[Verse 2]
Poison tastes so bitter on your lips
As if we're locked in coffee shops, the lights flick off
And you're forced to relive every mistake
They snap back in your face
That's when the rest of us would break
