Brightside
Am I just a voice?
Am I just a face?
'Cause I'm not the woman
You want in your space
Gratified you don't lie
Or pretend that you care
'Cause I'm just a woman
Who wasn't prepared
For being alone
Or how long that would last
And when I met you I thought
That that time had past
You're just another knot
In a long string of heartache
I got my hopes up
And you carried me down
Think I'll stay down here
At least for a moment
And look on the bright side
When I stand up, there's nobody
Keeping
Me tied
Perhaps it's bravado
That lets me breathe in
After a punch in the gut
Your fist in my skin
Your words like a hymn
That I sing to myself
They tear through my skin
It's how I pay for my sins
I've heard it before
And I'll hear it again
You think that I'm rad
But you'd rather
Hear me sing
You're just another knot
In a long string of heartache
I got my hopes up
And you carried me down
Think I'll stay down here
At least for a moment
And look on the bright side
When I stand up, there's nobody
Keeping me
And look on the bright side
When I stand up, there's nobody
Keeping
Me tied
