[Intro]
The passage of time
Was just a prop to our story
Throw on those glasses
'Cause we're going for a ride
So they don't see you've cried

[Verse 1]
It was a perfect fall, that autumn ensemble
And now that I'm on the ground, I can fix the puzzle
A box full of rocks I swear I'll keep as souvenirs
Just to stone my heart when the climax is here

[Chorus]
Trust in nobody else but myself
'Cause I know you'll just tear me apart and treat me like art
And talk is so cheap, I should just keep my thoughts to myself
And tear me apart and treat me like art

[Interlude]
You tear me apart and treat me like art

[Verse 2]
I am a canvas to everything that's wrong
Paint over all of your flaws
Just to speak, I swear I would hold my tongue
But after all these years, it just isn't fun
[Chorus]
Trust in nobody else but myself
'Cause I know you'll just tear me apart and treat me like art
And talk is so cheap, I should just keep my thoughts to myself
And tear me apart and treat me like art

[Outro]
And I don't understand
My head hit the fan too hard
Seeing you is hard when all my questions are refreshing
Did I mention?
(Pay your stake now, don't come to town with yourself)
(Fall into place, hit yourself with your mind)
(Would you mind?)
(Would you mind?)
(Pay your stake now, don't come to town with yourself)
(Fall into place, hit yourself with your mind)
