Alkaline Trio Ruin It song lyrics

I've waited a long time for this life

Just to ruin it

So please don't ruin this for me

Yes, I understand this lie

Hell I crossed those T's

I scratched out all those eyes myself last night

When I promised not to fight

So this is what I'm looking like these days

All grown up and so full of hate

But I don't want to let go of my rage

'Cause it's the salt that brings the taste

So where am I if you decide that I'm not right?

Cause I might break and I might bend

Your heartstrings out of tune again

And I might try to apologize

On a good day, on my best day, if you stick around

Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?

Am I being too careful, does this seem right?

Did I open up the shades to expose the sun in rays?

To show what's burned there inside

Yeah, take a close look, hold me right up to the light

Cause I might break and I might bend

Your heartstrings out of tune again

And I might try to apologize

On a good day, on my best day, if you stick around

I've waited for so long

I've waited for so long

Spread me out, rake me in

This coarse and rocky field will camouflage my skin

And I might break and I might bend

Your heartstrings out of tune again

And I might try to apologize

On a good day, on my best day, if you stick around
