[Verse 1]
The tension's for you now
You sit along your grave
You're never asking why
You never see my face
The fall is all in one
I couldn't understand
All the pieces that we took up in my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna trip it far
Slipping back, slip it underhand
'Cause I will say
"What did you wanna waste?"

[Chorus]
I never tried to hurt
I only tried to play
A memory, a thought
For everything you say
Well, I don't care who won
The unit's up when all the beats fall about
I'll see you when you're gone

[Verse 2]
Well, maybe it's the time
To spit all on my face
Maybe it's the right
A thing to fall from grace
A catatonic waste

[Chorus]
I never tried to hurt
I only tried to play
A memory, a thought
For everything you say
Well, I don't care who won
The unit's up when all the beats fall about
I'll see you when you're gone

[Bridge]
And I cannot win

[Breakdown]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
What did you want to waste?
What did you want to learn?
Why did you want to come back?
(Oh, oh) Did you understand
There was nothing for you anyway?
How could you want to go?
Well, how could you make me stay?
There's always something for nothing
(Oh, oh) When you want to tell me just to stop
