[Verse 1]
You shouldn't wait, you couldn't walk
It wasn't written out in chalk
It wasn't fate, it's not divine
The lacerations in your spine

[Pre-Chorus]
But that's no excuse
I could have been so much better for you

[Chorus]
You should take it out on me, but you won't take it out on me
You should hate the water, you should hate the world
You need to cut me out because I'll only let you down
And you deserve attention, I can't give you that

[Verse 2]
It shouldn't be that every week
I'm thinking promises I can't keep
Well that's not fair, that's not right
'Cause you're not sleeping much at night
But I'm no good use
I should have been so much better for you

[Verse 3]
And all I've done in half a year
Is send one letter out of here
On your birthday, September's end
And I haven't sent again
Because it's no use
Because I can't seem to stitch you
[Chorus]
You should take it out on me, but you won't take it out on me
You should hate the water, you should hate the world
You need to cut me out because I'll only let you down
And you deserve attention, I can't give you that

[Outro]
Because I'm no good use
I should have been so much better for you
