i find it so hard to ignore what i feel
in my head in my head
when i'm lonely
i stare at the scene on the screen and i scream
and i scream but no-one is listening
i point to the signs that i find to be told to be told
that they're not worth questioning
so turn off the lights in my mind
live the life, live the lie
this worm's not for turning
i meant to say
is this the way, it's made to be
i've lived for love, like i should, like they would
had me good, had me right where they want me
burned it down to the ground, to the sound of the mouths
that i'd kissed, reading lists of my frailties
i wrote it to God, through the web, where i shed
all my tears, for the years of trying
and the answer was sex, to impress, to de-stress
i undressed just to fill in the emptiness
i meant to say
is this the way, it's made to be
i've bitten my tongue, to become, your idea of fun
now i'm tasting the blood again
read the lines, read the lines, do the lines
wake up numb, wake up dumb, don't you know what you're missing
i meant to say
i won't be staying
i meant to say
i won't be staying
i meant to say
i won't be staying
i meant to say
i won't be staying
