[Verse 1]
Love how you disagree to tell me that I'm wrong
But every bone is healed and every stitch is sewn
I've got some words to share, but she don't like my tone
I've got some words to share; she won't pick up her phone
She's got some medicine; she's choking on the pills
She shouldn't feel this way, a lack of social skills
He'll take her out tonight; she'll have an awesome time
The only thing that's lost is the only thing that's mine
[Chorus]
And I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face, please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry
And as my gums begin to bleed
The words will fall like teeth
And whatever we had locked up now is free
[Verse 2]
You're talking with your friends, secrets they'll never keep
They're sitting on your bed, and all you want is sleep
Pretend that this is fake, it helps to kill the pain
All that you want is different; all that you'll get is same
There's nothing more to say; I think I've said it all
I'm sitting on the edge; I'm waiting for the fall
I checked my messages; they say you want a fight
I'm turning off my phone; How high were you last night?
[Chorus]
And I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face, please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry
And as the gums begin to bleed
The words will fall like teeth
And whatever we had locked up now is free
And I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face, please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry
And as the gums begin to bleed
The words will fall like teeth
And whatever we had locked up now is free
[Bridge]
And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel
And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel
And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel right now
[Chorus]
And I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face, please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry
And as the gums begin to bleed
The words will fall like teeth
And whatever we had locked up now is free
And I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face, please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry
And as the gums begin to bleed
The words will fall like teeth
And whatever we had locked up now is free
