For What Reason

[Verse 1]
This won't be the last you hear from me
It's just the start
I hope that he keeps you up for weeks
Like you did to me

[Verse 2]
I will hold a candle up to you
To singe your skin
Brace yourself, I'm bent with bitterness
And can't foresee

[Pre-Chorus]
When your apologies fail to ring true
So slick with that sarcastic slew
Of phrases like, "I thought you knew"
While keeping me in hot pursuit

[Chorus]
Tracing the plot finds
Skin touching skin
Absence follows

[Verse 3]
In the end, I win every time
As ink remains
Sour tastes prevail as you play back
The tape machine

[Pre-Chorus]
When your apologies fail to ring true
So slick with that sarcastic slew
Of phrases like, "I thought you knew"
While keeping me in such hot pursuit

[Chorus]
Tracing the plot finds
Skin touching skin
Absence follows
