I don't believe in the secrets you keep But I do wanna know How do you sleep at night And I'm over you, congratulations Thank you for all the pain Cause it made it be so much more fun There's nothing to say now The feelings are already dead (they're dead) And I don't believe there's a way now All that is said has been said (been said) I'm waiting for another day, another way I don't believe that you can make all the pain go away So I'll leave it all behind, but I'm leaving with blood in my eyes Seen through the lines, while believing the lies For too long a time And I still don't know how I did And now war's declared, drawing the battle lines And I can't see straight anymore With all of this blood in my eyes There's nothing to say now The feelings are already dead (they're dead) And I don't believe there's a way now All that is said has been said (been said) I'm waiting for another day, another way I don't believe that you can make all the pain go away So I'll leave it all behind, but I'm leaving with blood in my eyes There's nothing to say now The feelings are already dead (they're dead) And I don't believe there's a way now All that is said has been said (been said) I'm waiting for another day, another way I don't believe that you can make all the pain go away So I'll leave it all behind, but I'm leaving with blood in my eyes
