The Royston Club
Shallow Tragedy
[Verse 1]
Please take this out on me
Exhale every point you ever tried to prove
Oh, honey, I've met girls like you

[Verse 2]
Who twist knives just for fun
Amplify those inhibitions I can't see
I'm standing where he used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
But it seems I've missed the point
Fallen short of the mark

[Chorus]
Darling, I've been grieving
This love's nowhere to go
I'm either pleading
Or sinking like a stone
You said that I'd be better off
But I'm still reeling from the shock

[Verse 3]
So, keep those wandеring eyes
Every singlе second of my precious time
I've wasted on these fucking lines
[Pre-Chorus]
I have missed the point
Fallen short of the mark
Cast out like the rest
Just the ticking of a box

[Chorus]
Darling, I've been grieving
This love's nowhere to go
I'm either pleading
Or sinking like a stone
You said that I'd be better off
But I'm still reeling from the shock

[Bridge]
I don't mean to be-
I don't mean to be so crude
I don't mean to be-
I don't mean to be so crude
I don't mean to be-
I don't mean to be so crude
I don't mean to be-
No, I don't mean to be so crude
It's what you drive me to

[Chorus]
Darling, I've been grieving
This love's nowhere to go
I'm either pleading
Or sinking like a stone
You said that I'd be better off
But I'm still reeling from the shock
Oh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
But it's the only thing I've got
[Instrumental]
