Rules That Won’t Be Broken

Well it was nice
To meet you
But it was such
A displeasure to know you
All that you do
You do blindly without your guilt
And I can't help
But feel scared as you hurt me

I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same

There are traces of you in the smiles of faces I once wanted to know
You still seek me out beneath sheets
In homes
With friends
In the road
But I should have known better than to let someone like you
Burrow into me like a tick and suck out all that's good
But you've brought joy into the lives of others
You've brought joy into the lives of others

And they stand together now
With disbelief set in their brow
As you break the rules
That should not be broken
And they'll leave you to do
To do what you need
So they too can enjoy
This perfumed sense of peace
Oh it's hard to believe
How little I must mean
When you spent years
Years
Cutting at my seams

I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
But I am not built
No I am not built
To harbour your pain
To harbour my pain
When there is nothing
When there is no change
You have broken homes inside of my brain
