Never Be Me

from Brutally Honest by Yours Truly

	/

lyrics

He pulls your hair you grit your teeth, in the back of your mind you know he'll never be me.
Sweat it out try and get rid of my name, cause the pillowcase is the perfect place to scream.

Can he tell you're gone by the way you said his name?
You slurred his and mine, you made us sound the same.
You don't know what you want, but you know it's something.
So close your eyes, I'm here to tell you you've got nothing.

You ran your mouth and other things over him.
I know you'd like me for a night of your sin.
But truth be told I can't stand the sight of your skin.
So now you'll finally see, he'll never be me.

You lost your mind between the sheets, when you look in his eyes you know he'll never be me.
You'd start a war just to show me how you're lost.
I've got my guns out, and they're all loaded and cocked.
You'll always be the first to go.

So tell me do you love the sounds I make, when I'm up against the wall and I can't breath?
If you just took your hands away, my voice would make you feel the same damn thing.
