[Verse 1]
Since when did you become so cold
And such a lifeless piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore
Or the thought of you

[Verse 2]
Don't worry, take what you need
I left you and your dying breed
But before we forget, when the lights burn out
Don't come home crying to me
I will surrender myself
For the better health of someone who really cares

[Chorus]
Why would you throw it away so fast?
It's gotta' get better than this
Too hard for too long, I'm holdin' on
Try to go but it just don't feel right
This light, your eyes, I'm easy
I should've known better by now
But you look so, damn good

[Post-Chorus]
Go get your black dress baby
And put your dancin' shoes on
Go get your black dress baby
And put your dancin' shoes
I swear to God, my intentions were gold
I swear to God, my intentions were gold

[Bridge]
Run away, from your mistakes
Just like the ones you hid from me
Why can't you see that I was expecting this all along?
The road is long, where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone
Alone. Alone. Alone. Alone

[Outro]
I hope you know, I hope you know
I left you long before you left me
I hope you know, I hope you know
I left you long before you left me
Time's up
