Текст песни: Left On Northwood. Gut Check Personality. God On The Spot.

(You said it yourself)
this is just how it's gotta be
you burned my heart out
I'll never sleep another night
another vanquished mistress
a life led one lie at a time
my choice
of my own making
go!

this isn't my day
a drag suffice (it) to say
time takes time I've heard
but time and I have never been on such good terms

penchant for clenched fist
intent to do my best
but still listless, lost
a million thoughts
a million ways
but so few days to square the sum I've left to pay

(you'll say it again)
this is just how it's gotta be
I've bled your heart out
another dance with foolish pride
another pink slip written
hopeless?
we gave it all we had
or at least you did
I wouldn't know

I gave in, I gave up at the heavier thought
without grace I chose west when our east was awash
with a shame. I guess right is inherently wrong through these eyes.

with a left, right fake you took me and I'll say
that I loved every moment of every day.
but this beast wouldn't budge and it's a burden that I couldn't lend.

no

so a shoe gazed walk broke a heart worth taking
and every promise to you is worth breaking
I'd say I do for the best of you
but half truths breed lies in a lover's eyes and

given the conduct of past encounters
you'd be surprised if I know just what matters
you're right again for the thousandth time
but time takes time you know?
I don't have time

I wont apologize
I wont apologize

this is just how it's gotta be
we bled our hearts out
passionate love amidst the game
this plum doesn't know the rules though
Hopeless?
we gave it one last try
(pen down) we paused the rhyme
but, no
no


take your time
1, 2
with every tick I get
I think of you
take your time
3, 4
with every tick of the clock
you grow more and more
take your time
and with a left, right
I'll take it straight to heart!
and what's left will be yours 'cause I've no will to fight.

take everything that I have
I will permit you to
you know
you're selfish but you couldn't last
so I permit you to
you know
I'd die for your sins without thought
may spears release me too
you know
you know

this is just how it's gotta be
you burned my heart out
I'll never sleep another night
my dearest vanquished mistress

a life led one lie at a time
my choice
of my own making

my choice of
of my own making
oh

this isn't my day...
