By The Way

[Verse 1]
In the winding down hours
I let your heart down again
(What’d I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I’m no better than the ones before me)
Old habits die hard
I always end up hating the end
(What’d I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I’m no better than the ones before me)

[Refrain]
I’m in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me

[Chorus]
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you’d have it your way
And by the way
By the way
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
That I’ll always stay the same

[Verse 2]
Speechless and frozen
Uncomfortable silence again
(What’d I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I’m no better than the ones before me)

[Refrain]
I’m in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me

[Chorus]
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you’d have it your way
And by the way
By the way
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
That I’ll always stay the same

[Bridge]
Battered and bruised
Broken, confused
It’s time we both knew
Can’t stop what I started
This time we both lose
Lose

[Chorus/Outro]
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you’d have it your way
And by the way
By the way
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
That I’ll always stay the same
The same, the same
I’ll always stay the same
(Battered and bruised)
The same (Broken, confused), the same
I didn’t warn you that I’ll always stay the same
