lyrics

Stay away from me
Suddenly I've become the monster that everyone warned you about
I got words as sharp as wolves teeth
They'll cut so deep they'll make you bleed
So step back, back, back before I strike all over again
I'll build you up a back bone
And the truth will stab you where it hurts the most
'Cause I don't think I'd hesitate
Over and Over again
I've let you down
I was not much of a friend
But you kept me around
I took every bullet I could for you
I did all that I could do
So if you wish I was dead
Don't forget the things that I did
Suddenly I'm not the man I said I'd be
And I can't believe that you didn't think we were family
Because I didn't ruin your life
If you wanted it more you would stand up and fight
Show us how we made a mistake
And how you wouldn't have walked away
'Cause I don't think you'd hesitate
Over and Over again
I've let you down
I was not much of a friend
But you kept me around
I took every bullet I could for you
I did all that I could do
So if you wish I was dead
Don't forget the things that I did
Over and Over again
I've let you down
I've let you down
Ohh
I still wish you the best
And I wish that you never left
But I'm over it
And I'm over you now
