it’s in your eyes that you wanted to destroy something beautiful
look how easily you walk away
shake my world to its foundation
you shake your fistful of dirty money
when you can’t buy the words to say
gone mute with every complication

so kick me
come on and kick me down
kick me
if it picks you up a little bit
kick me when I’m down and make sure it hurts
cmon and kick me cause I can take the pain
kick me for just a little bit, a little bit
kick me when I’m down and make sure it hurts

when the going gets tough the weak get going
so where exactly are you going to?
safe like the others, all retreating
the experts say the worst is over
but I’m hoping for a little more
won’t do a thing to stop the bleeding

it took a while to realize
that I would never be the savior
of yours or mine or any other world
but if you could ever know the pain of
all your broken promises, well
I know that you would never want me any other way
