lyrics

Every time I see that face
It lulls me to a simple place
Like home
Neurotic, but like home

It's too good to be true
The many "you"s inside of you
Confuse and hypnotize me through
The bone
To make like Romans when in Rome

Should we worry about my pride?
I know I hold on to it tightly
What on earth will I decide?

Well I'm tired of being a good man
Who submits to a wicked voice
And I'm tired of being the only one
Who can't bear a forbidden choice
And I'm tired of looking for answers
And I'm tired of saving face
And I'm spilling down, down, down all over the place

How could I commit to one
Who sucks the poison just for fun
My dear?
You're indefensible, my dear

How can you have the nerve?
You know I'll fight for what you deserve
When you come crawling I will be
Sincere
But I'll see toxins in each tear

Who should worry about the loss
Now that I see you on the other side
Of a line I'll never cross?

Well I'm tired of being a good man
Who submits to a wicked voice
And I'm tired of being the only one
Who can't bear a forbidden choice
I'm tired of agonizing
Because I just want to be free
But I'm also tired of breaking down
To what I said I'd never be
And I'm tired of looking for answers
And I'm tired of saving face
And I'm spilling down, down, down all over the place

I will hold onto you
And show you what you are
Is good enough for me
Can't it be good enough for you?

Well I'm tired of being a good man
Who submits to a wicked voice
And I'm tired of being the only one
Who can't bear a forbidden choice
I'm tired of agonizing
Because I just want to be free
But I'm also tired of breaking down
To what I said I'd never be
And I'm tired of trying to rise above
When you're killing yourself while you're showing me love
And I'm tired of looking for answers
And I'm tired of saving face
And I'm spilling down, down, down all over the place
