you made a mistake
Bm A6 G Bm
on the day that you met me , you lost your way

you saw all the signs
Em
but you let it go

i should have told you to leave
Bm A6 G Bm
’cause i knew all the the time you couldn’t handle me
A6 G
but you’re hard to resist
Em
when you’re on your knees
F#
begging me

chorus
G
i tear you down
Bm
i’ll make you bleed eternally
G
can’t help myself
Bm
from hurting you when it’s hurting me

i don’t have wings
Bm Em
so flying with me won’t be easy

’cause i’m not an angel
n . C .

hate being that wall

i keep taking the blame

when we both know that i’ll never change

i wasn’t always this way

i used to be the one with the halo
Bm A6 D G

it left me in this place
Bm A6 G
but i’m starting to think maybe you like it
