I Suck (Blood)

I'd rather beg your forgiveness
 Than solicit permission
 I'd rather know that it broke your heart
 Than doubt that it will
 Every time we divide
 We put zeros under the line
 And we publish it as our proof
 That nothingness is divine
 I can't find a way
 To grind your heart to a halt
 It was probably just the wind
 I don't ruin you like I did
 I would rather be a jealous man
 Than an off duty cop
 I tried to be a babe-in-arms
 Not a bull in a china shop
 A sheep in wolf's clothes
 I'm a hangman without a rope
 Who am I trying to kid?
 I don't ruin you like I did
 When you live your life being scared to death
 Then you might as well be wounded
 If you spend your nights being short of breath
 Then I'll keep these shadows moving
 If only you could see me now
 I'll take what I can get
 Even if it's restraining orders
 Hold your fire
 What do you take me for?
 What do you take me for?
 Did you think I could garner attention with tact?
 What do you take me for?
 What am I trying to prove?
 What have I done to you?
 Left at the altar and asked for a bed
 What did I expect you to do?
 Give me an audience
 Black, loveless eyes
 I have hundreds of costumes
 But not one disguise
 Places, everyone (Who am I trying to kid?)
 Fangs out (I don't ruin you like I did)
 I'd rather beg your forgiveness
 Than solicit permission
 I'd rather know that it broke your heart
 Than doubt that it will
 I would rather be a jealous man
 Than an off duty cop
 I tried to be a babe-in-arms
 Not a bull in a china shop
 I will see you in the dark
 A castrated stranger with candy hearts
