Maybe we could start over
Or get back to the beginning at least
Where you said, "Be careful what you wish for,
You just might get what you deserve, what you need."
When you drag your nails across my skin
Sometimes it feels like surgery
When you drag your nails across my skin
Sometimes it feels like
I want to deconstruct you, slowly
I want to tear you apart
Piece by brilliant piece
Piece by brilliant piece
And when I'm staring at the water
I'm only thinking about the shadows underneath
I fumble and fail to find the perfect teeth
If my arms could ever reach that key
But the grooves across the blade don't fit, don't fit to anything
When you drag your nails across my skin
Sometimes it feels like
I want to deconstruct you, slowly
I want to tear you apart
Piece by brilliant piece
Piece by brilliant piece
Find the words to remind you, slowly
This is what we need
Piece by brilliant piece
Piece by brilliant piece
How long is too long exactly?
How long is too long exactly?
If the clock hands are stuck on repeat
I'll give you my hand so you won't drown
But I can't stick around for you to drag me down
(I want to deconstruct you, slowly)
(I want to tear you apart)
(Piece by brilliant piece)
Piece by brilliant piece
I'll watch you deconstruct me, slowly
I'll watch you tear me apart
Piece by brilliant piece
Piece by brilliant piece
Find the words to remind me, slowly
This is what I need
Piece by brilliant piece
Piece by brilliant piece
