[Verse 1]
I'd rather cut ties and take the loss
Even though I just paid it off
Couldn't smell the fire burnin' down
Even though I tried to pull you out

[Pre-Chorus]
Blame
Bruises and chains
I'll say your name
I'll say your name

[Chorus]
But I won't beg for you, my dear
These knees have bled
Pulled out my hair
Didn't know you tried to burn us down
Even when we tried to work it out
But I won't beg for you, my dear
These knees have bled
Pulled out my hair
Didn't know you tried to burn us down
Even when we tried to work it out

[Verse 2]
Lord knows I've been to Hell and back
I've met the devil and you're worse than that
You'd end the world before you'd save me
You'd hang yourself before you'd take the—
[Pre-Chorus]
Blame
Bruises and chains
I'll say your name
I'll say your name

[Chorus]
But I won't beg for you, my dear
These knees have bled
Pulled out my hair
Didn't know you tried to burn us down
Even when we tried to work it out
But I won't beg for you, my dear
These knees have bled
Pulled out my hair
Didn't know you tried to burn us down
Even when we tried to work it out
