You say, "Where do you come off!"
"And how do you look at yourself in the mirror?"
Well baby, I don't have to stare to know what's real
Yeah, you say, "Maybe it's better to just be acquaintances
Cause I don't want you to take this the wrong way."
Well I guess if you want it that way
I'm not gonna sit here and complain
I'm long gone
That rope's been stretched way too thin
And eventually, you know, it's bound to break
I can feel the ground begin to quake uncontrolled
But I say, "Take a look at yourself."
"And if you're gonna go preaching, do what you say."
Cause you're not changing a damn thing staying the same
And we both agree, "This is out of our hands now
And we best let it all slide until tomorrow"
Now all the time that you barrow
Looking back, it's so hard to swallow
I'm long gone
That rope's been stretched way too thin
And eventually, you know, it's certain to snap
And I can feel the earth crack apart uncontrolled
Fall into the fire below
I don't think the water will save us
Don't even bother trying to escape this downfall
Just fall into the fire below
I've been throwing you this rope
But you don't care to take hold
Naw, you don't care at all
I'm long gone
This rope's been stretched way too thin
And eventually, you know, it's bound to break
Then eventually, you know, it's certain to snap
Yeah, this tension is pulling us apart
It's uncontrolled
It's uncontrolled
Can't throw you anymore rope
No, I can't be your hero
"Maybe it's just better to be acquaintances"
