DNA

[Verse 1]
Maybe I couldn't give you
Everything that you want
Maybe I should have put your feelings first
For once
'Cause I will want what I can't get
Till I'm dead in the ground
And the light that you hold
Goes out

[Verse 2]
If I send a letter
Would you read it alone?
Am I still a contender
Or have you moved on?
'Cause I've been trapped in my glass house
So long on my own
I'm so glad that you threw
Your stone
You wrote upon it, "You're the one"
It said upon it, "You're the one"

[Chorus]
And the tears you can taste
Are not just DNA
I watched our luck decay
And like a bird I preyed
I'm a virus and you're
The placebo, not the cure
No, no, that strain you can't erase
It's in my DNA

[Verse 3]
Maybe I'm outnumbered
Well, I won't be outgunned
I rise from the ashes, I won't sink
In the mud
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros
We're so much more
And you've gotta find out
Or the credits roll

[Chorus]
And the tears you can taste
Are not just DNA
I watched our luck decay
And like a bird I preyed
I'm a virus and you're
The placebo, not the cure
Its poison never works
It only makes me worse

[Chorus]
And the tears you can taste
Are not just DNA
They showed that we're the same
And I washed them all away
'Cause I'm a virus and you're
Out looking for the cure
No, no, that strain you can't erase
It's in my DNA
That strain you can't erase
It's in my DNA
