lyrics

This is a rut
And I’m the rope you’re not brave enough to cut
You found the perfect stick from which to dangle the carrot
In my call response to you I sound like an idiot parrot
And whatever love was left has left
To think when I met you I felt blessed
I gave you nothing – if not my best

Sweet blood, mosquito bites
Sick love and brilliant fights
Darling the truth is – you’ve always been a goddamn liar

I’ve heard enough
You full of shit and I’m calling out your bluff
You misportray everything you convey just to muddy up the water
If you ever cared at all, this wouldn’t feel like such a bother
Hollowed out and you left me numb
Whatever we had has come undone
And this void between us – has only just begun

Sweet blood, mosquito bites
Sick love and brilliant fights
Darling the truth is – you’ve always been a goddamn liar

Why did you change?
Where once was love has become so strained
Everyone takes your side ‘cause your such a convincing crier
I’m in the trenches, waving the white flag, praying for a ceasefire
Battle tested we’re ready for war
We’ve marched down this bloody road before
Now bitterness has become our only – Esprit de corps

Sweet blood, mosquito bites
Sick love and brilliant fights
Darling the truth is – you’ve always been a goddamn liar
