lyrics

I take a breath and pull myself together
I never thought that it could hurt this much
You cheated, lied, and testified that you are better now
But I know I'm not the only one who's starving for your touch

And I don't know if I can carry on
But without you I don't know what I would be
I know you said you have a catlike personality
So if someone's gonna be your scratching post, then it might as well be me

I hide the scars and try to make you happy
But I can't ever seem to make you smile
I tell myself that you don't mean the awful things you say
But deep down I know you do, and I know happy's not your style

And I don't know if I can carry on
But without you I don't know what I would be
I know you're having issues with your broken self-esteem
So if someone's gonna be your last resort, then it might as well be me

And I've tried so hard to work this out
But you get that look in your eye that says you don't care what I'm talkin' about
And I tell you that I love you, but I can see that it's no use
'Cause an average day is me sitting around and taking your abuse

And I close my eyes and tell myself it's worth it
But in my soul I know that that's not true
All I want is for someone to love me
And it's getting ever clearer that that someone isn't you

And I really don't think that I can carry on
When without you I know I'd be truly free
I'm sick of being treated like your f***ing punching bag
So if someone's gonna go and write a breakup song, then it might as well be me

Yeah, it might as well be me
