about

Not a Miley Cyrus cover. Sorry.

lyrics

You talk in old tongues
About what used to be
You say it can be ours again
You just need me

Just like the rest
To me, you died
But now your voice rings in my head
And you want inside

I'd let you but I don't trust you
And I'm not so sure this time
Understand that I can burn my
Own house down just fine
I'm more than capable of holding the wrecking ball
Break my own supports and walls
It's not enough just to watch me struggle
You want to speed the fall

You say it best
"Why even try?"
"Come on, let me in..."
"And we can waist the night."

You show up
And you want to see
The person you "used to know"
Come out of me

It's a wonder I'm even alive
And now you wanna go back in time
It was fun but those days are over
You're not gonna change my mind

You're still a child you haven't grown at all
I should have hung up when you called
You're just alone since I left
And now you wanna drag me down as you (fall)

I'd let you but I don't trust you
And I'm sure this time
Understand that I can burn my
Own house down just fine
I'm more than capable of holding the wrecking ball
Break my own supports and walls
It's not enough just to watch me struggle
You want to speed the fall

You say it best
"Why even try?"

You would know...
