put up a wall to keep them out
strictly for the purpose of protecting yourself
and though its not where you want to be
behind baracades without a key
well thats the worst excuse that i have ever heard
and darling dont think for a second i'll believe a single word
cause i took note of all the fingerprints
the shame thats in your voice
you've got a gift for breaking hearts and showing no remorse
and you..showed me what not to do
and i'll take it to my grave
but this wont really kill me if no apologies are made
cause i know you won't mean it anyway
so what did it mean when you said your a mess
cause all i see is a pile of excuses
and nobody knows better than me
the tricks and the trade of dishonesty
well thats the worst excuse that i have ever heard
and darling dont think for a second i'll believe a single word
cause i took note of all the fingerprints
the shame thats in your voice
you've got a gift for breaking hearts and showing no remorse
and you..showed me what not to do
and i'll take it to my grave
but this wont really kill me if no apologies are made
cause i know you won't mean it anyway
