lyrics

This is the sound of the biggest mistake I will ever make
It struck its chord when I painted the past up fake
It broke the noise ordinance when you slapped your hand across my face
And my conscience ain’t so proud
That it took this long to get this loud

All of my friends say they wouldn’t have ‘fessed up the truth
They would’ve covered up a lie with a lie and swallowed all the guilt too
So what does it make me, if it was the right thing to do?
I could’ve made a little mess with your head, but that’s how much I love you
‘Cause you were yanking on the ring on your finger like it didn’t mean a thing anymore
Maybe I deserved for you to toss it on my bedroom floor

If actions talk louder than words, intentions are the things you meant to say
‘Cause I got sorry on the tip of my tongue like its ruling my vocabulary
Whoever said “the truth hurts” put a heavy little weight in our hands
‘Cause you don’t really have to be anybody but the things you say
And the things people see
So kiss me goodnight tonight just like it never really happened at all
What a dirty little habit to break ‘cause the tales we tell can get so tall
So kill me quickly ‘cause I’m way too good at feeling way too guilty

So sorry
I forgot to close my eyes when you kissed me
So charming
Play along and cue the song when our lips meet

Kill me quickly ‘cause I’m way too good at feeling way too guilty

Bite your tongue, bite your tongue
Plug your ears, plug your ears
Hold that grudge, hold that grudge
