Forfeit
You keep saying you’re leaving
But you haven’t left yet
It’s like before you do, you want to take a piece of me
Well congratulations
‘Cause I’m a bit disillusioned
But the more desperate you get
The harder it is to take you seriously
So go ahead
And say whatever makes you feel like you’re winning
‘Cause now you’re the only one playing
I’ve transcended this game
Or forfeit
Or something
And I’ve stopped listening
And when the flames of furor are to fevered to stoke
And the smoke clears from our little war
And you wake up in debris, will you see
That there was no way to win
No enemy
No one keeping score
Now you’re missing the mark most of the time
You’ve completely lost the line between
Push and Shove
And I never want to see you again
So that I can remember us being in love
So with that in mind, it’s time to decide
Who gets what
And how much
And why
I’ll go ahead and take the blame
So that you can have your pride
You can keep your tasteless con
I’ll take the calm and leave you your storm
And you can have your righteous indignation
I’ve got my integrity keeping me warm.
And when the flames of furor are too fevered to stoke
And the smoke clears from our little war
And you wake up in debris, will you see
That there was no way to win
No enemy
No one keeping score
You keep saying you’re leaving
But you haven’t left yet
It’s like before you do, you want to take a piece of me
Well congratulations
‘Cause I’m a bit disillusioned
But the more desperate you get
The harder it is to take you seriously
The more desperate you get
The harder it is to take you seriously
