Ode to Destruction
[Verse 1]
I've thought enough for both of us, but I barely said a word
Been back and forth a thousand times hoping not to lose
And I know I should take it slow
But I've never followed suit
And this ache you gave, it dies with me
This time I'm finally through
I wish it wasn't true

[Verse 2]
And so it goes
I may wish I'd disappear
Let the record slow
As the distance grows, it's like I always feared
I never gave enough and I never wanted to but still I think of you

[Refrain]
Would you waste some time on me?
Am I a waste of time?

[Verse 3]
If you're around next year, even for a day
Would you show your face?
And lay those eyes on me
'Cause I'm a sight to see
I survived so much on my own
That you'll bite your tongue
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
We're deaf to those that tell us truths
That we don't wanna hear
So here's to those that wish us well
The rest can go to hell
Life's a waste without you and me
Life's a waste without you and me

[Outro]
I don't wanna be
Yeah, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be that way
Never gettin' rid
No, you're never gettin' rid
Never gettin' rid of me
And so it goes
