lyrics

Shaky hands, short of breath
Out of my comfort zone again
I'm no stranger to those awkward silences
That's how it's gonna say cause you don't wanna hear
What I really wanna say

You give an inch, I take a mile
And I take a lot more than that
When you smile and tell me that you love me, but I know that's not true
It's a figure of speech to you but I wish it wasn't
So I don't feel like I have to lie to you

Gun to my head: Get over it
And even if I really try, I'll be faced with my demise
Gun to my head: I'd make a mess
And as I fell, I'd say it's worth it…it's worth it

Kept my mouth shut, tried to make do
Never said a word of this to you
Because I had a hunch that you wouldn't be on board
I'd like to think, that all is well
That I didn't make a fool of myself
But I don't know how much you know

You're not the first one of my friends
That just tried to be nice to me but I got mixed messages

Gun to my head: Get over it
And even if I really try, I'll be faced with my demise
Gun to my head: I'd make a mess
And as I fell, I'd say it's worth it

(It's worth it...
It's worth it...)

Gun to my head: Get over you
And even if I really try, I'll be faced with my demise
Gun to my head: I'd make a mess
And as I fell...

I'd say it's worth it, even if you never cared for me at all.

(Aww...)
