lyrics

You brought him into this place
This place
This safe place
Our safe place
And made it a fucking war zone
I swallowed my tongue for you
My tongue
Swollen
Bleeding
And it kept me choking
Gasping for air...
You promised that would never happen
But it spread rampant through our home
Silent
Nervous
Dying
I hate what was allowed to happen....
So I stayed away from there
Our home
His home
No one's home
I watched it dissolve into a house
You let him tear me apart
His words
His hate
My stitches
I stitched all of it up for you

You put me in a position
That tore me apart
For you? For me?
I chose you
I was convinced anything else
Anything else was selfish
I did nothing...
I let him kill me, for you

I tied my hands for you
I ate my tongue for you
I looked away for you
I was betrayed by you
Betrayed
