Lately

Lately I've been hurting inside Cuz lately you've been acting differently Lately I've been fine with acting Like I know what you're talking about Lately I've been afraid to say anything wrong In fear of losing you once again Lately I've been thinking about second chances Well you're not getting a third

Lately you've said some things That makes my heart burn with rage And with one final swoop I came crashing down on you And you ended this Once and for all You beat me to it So I cried, but not over you

Lately I've been thinking About your nasty words And though I know lately I've been acting like I'm tough and strong Lately everyone thinks that your memory is gone I wish you hadn't spoke your mind So I didn't have to speak mine Lately I've tried to keep us from falling apart But Lately I've been slowing down Cuz lately I've been having second thoughts About you

Lately you've said some things That makes my heart burn with rage And with one final swoop I came crashing down on you And you ended this Once and for all You beat me to it So I cried, but not over you

I'm so confused You said you wanted to please me Were you too dumb to figure it out Nothing that you could have said After that last comment Could ever make me turn around

Lately you've said some things That makes my heart burn with rage And with one final swoop I came crashing down on you And you ended this Once and for all You beat me to it So I cried, but not over you

You can't get away with it I was just watching it all fall down You can't get away with it I was just watching it all fall down You can't get away with it No, no, no, no, no
