The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just want to be done with you faking
For the taking but I'm wicked
Up to the fact that you're lying, and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just sick!
It's just sick!

Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done
And you've broken the notion of trust
'Cause you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just sick!
It's just sick!

Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done

All the damage is done!
All the damage is done!

Is compromise something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open.
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan.
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open.
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open.

Force my hand
When my eyes are wide open.

Lying and denying is just sick!
Lying and denying is just sick!

It's just sick!
