lyrics

Your heart will be open
and I will be waiting for you
cause my heart is simple
and yours is a ticking atom bomb

I tried to feel broken
cause that's what you wanted, baby
you thought I was shallow
cause I didn't wish that I was gone

But that's just not the way
I'm sure that's not the way that love should be
you begged me so I gave
I guess that you could say I'm your giving tree

But I was not the same
and you should be ashamed
and soon you'll see all my promises have all just gone to waste
I wasn't yours to promise anyway

Your time isn't over
you still think I'm sleazy, don't you?
your story's still going
but I'm not a part of it at all

But I was not the same
and you should be ashamed
and soon you'll see all my promises
and all the time I put into this
and years from now, will you still know the contours of my face?
I wasn't yours to promise anyway
