lyrics

She said boy you're just the one that I need
The only one that will sacrifice for the dream
Oh Boy I saw you from across the room
Oh you got the one thing that will make me move

She said put your trust in me
I'll make your dreams a reality

Her tongue was sharp as a knife
But her talk was cheap so I bought every line
Her face lives behind a mask
Hiding all the little secrets that she has

She said put your trust in me
I'll make that dream a reality

Did you come here to watch me fall apart?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you
I've been broken from the start
So wipe off the grin from ear to ear
'Cause baby there's only up from here
And this time
I'm not going home without a fight

She dances on my insecurities
Struts on top of everything that I believe
But my hands hang on her hips
While her hands are in my back pocket

She said put your trust in me
I'll make that dream a reality

Did you come here to watch me fall apart?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you
I've been broken from the start
So wipe off the grin from ear to ear
'Cause baby there's only up from here
And this time
I'm not going home without a fight

You think this war has won
I haven't loaded my guns
With words for bullets that will expose you to everyone
How you're on top of the city
How you live freely
But don't you worry
I'll drag you to this hell you made me

Did you come here to watch me fall apart?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you
I've been broken from the start
So wipe off the grin from ear to ear
'Cause baby there's only up from here
And this time
I'm not going home without a fight
