You can play the saint
You can swallow sorries
You can paint me how you want
Replace us with hate
Retell your own stories
And tell them how you want

I've got this thing in me for you that's leaving
An idea of who you used to be
What, you think I wouldn't leave it if I could...

I think of who I left at home that Autumn
I lied through my teeth and paid for it
I was projecting, I'm still a traitor
I can't explain away my awful behaviour
How could I have even been so thoughtless
I lied through my teeth and paid for it
With my complacency
It's too easy to seem
Much harder to be

Time is a bind
A fight between being alone and the loneliness
Between everything taken and everything left
I could do without all of this

I've got this thing in me from you that's grieving
An idea of who we used to be
What, you think I wouldn't leave it if I could...

I think of who I left at home that Autumn
I lied through my teeth and paid for it
I was projecting, I'm still a traitor
I can't explain away my awful behaviour
How could I have even been so thoughtless
I lied through my teeth and paid for it
With my complacency
It's too easy to seem
Much harder to be
