The ransom

He softly told you everything
He never knew you didn't care.
Break his heart again, smile and prepare for all the words he screams.
Give him a reason, anything but silence or the truth.
He'll hate you now.

Remember how he held you for all those lonely nights you know you shared
And remember how you never cared about anything he said.
Well now he's dead to you, so bury him instead.

The words out, I'm not the man I used to be.
You knew it all along that I felt this way.
I put in this song, tear me apart for pouring out my heart.
You know it wouldn't phase you in the least.
I hate you now.

Remember how I held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared
And remember how you never cared about anything I said
And now I'm dead to you, so bury me instead.

So here's the one about every heart you stole.
And you're so sure that you're not a thief at all.
Cause I'm the one who's stealing you and this ransom's overdue.
Everything that's in me says that I hate you now.

Remember how I held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared
And remember how you never cared about anything I said
And now I'm dead to you, so bury me instead.
