lyrics

Take it back you backstabbing waste of skin

Do it once and it’s my fault not seeing it coming
Do it twice and now I know the blame’s on you
Here I am taking tallies of your faults
And somehow finding ways to pin the blame on myself
I can only think of ways to make it look like it’s an accident
I keep chalking it up to an honest mistake
but I know crawling around in the back of my mind
You’re not afraid to crack some bones

Spine Breaker
Back stabber
Spine Breaker

Stab my back
Walk away
Just ignore the pain you’ve wrought
Cut my throat
Turn your back
You just pretend like it’s not your fault
Stab my back
Walk away
Tear me down it’s all you know
Cut my throat back stabber

Let’s take it back to better days and let’s imagine better times
When the joy you felt wasn’t hanging on my failures
Now I only want the best for you but you just want it worse for me
Give it up
Give it up
What is this
It’s taking over you and now it’s taking over me
A will of ill intent and the shadow of resent
It’s swallowing me whole and I’ve already seen it in yourself
Backstabber

Alright alright here we go
Back stabber

Stab my back
Walk away
Just ignore the pain you’ve wrought
Cut my throat
Turn your back
You just pretend like it’s not your fault
Stab my back
Walk away
Tear me down it’s all you know
Cut my throat back stabber

You’ll never know what I felt
The moment you betrayed my trust

I’ll make sure you rue the day
The day you made this choice

Stab my back
Walk away
Just ignore the pain you’ve wrought
Cut my throat
Turn your back
You just pretend like it’s not your fault
Stab my back
Walk away
Tear me down it’s all you know
Cut my throat back stabber
