Id give myself a hand if I were you
The right words are never ones I say
Songs like these
They carry a little weight now

'Cause theyre about honesty
Theyre about sincerity
And I gave you neither
And I took everything, for me

And I have broken your heart
For the first and only time
One day Ill feel this way too
On the receiving end of heavy handed logic

And Im not real anymore
Im like a story passed down by kids
Who cant fight parties
Not getting out of bed today

But just lay here uninspired
Feeling bad that I threw you away
Im a shadow that whispers
Stupid songs about this heart

Im sorry for letting you down
Im sorry for everything about me that hurts you
Think about what you said on the phone
If I die alone, its my own fault

And Im a shadow that whispers
Stupid songs about this heart
Im sorry
Id give myself a hand
