Behind her smile She licks the blood off of her teeth And says she'll stay Because it's easier that way (way) And I've had enough So shut me down or just shut up I'm sick of hearing your confessions (confessions) I'm sick of cleaning up your messes (messes) If that's the way you are Then that's the way I'm gonna be If that's the way you are You are just wasting away
I'm sinking and thinking I'll override this (undertow) Have I been Relying Too much on you to stay afloat? Your funny face You're leaned against the wall I can't believe it's true That you're not you And you're leaving after all
Time is a bus That drives itself through all of us We sag and drag in funny places (places) When traffic's heavy on our faces (faces) If that's the way you are Then that's the way I'm gonna be If that's the way you are You are just wasting away
I'm sinking and thinking I'll override this (undertow) Have I been Relying Too much on you to stay afloat? Your funny face You're leaned against the wall I can't believe it's true That you're not you And you're leaving after all
You say, "I'll stay the same If you'll just trust From me to you and rust to dust" (But I watch you) walking day to day Pick up some change along the way The way If that's the way you are Then that's the way I'm gonna be If that's the way you are You are just wasting away
(If that's the way) I can't believe it's true (The way) I found out that you're not you (The way) You said you'd stay, yes I recall (You're just wasting) Oh (Away) I can't believe it's true I found out that you're not you You said you'd stay, yes I recall But you're leaving after all
