Pieces scattered everywhere, I must've lost control
All around the house lies another part of my spine, all because I'm too proud to swallow my pride
(And I've got) Carpet burns from crawling to your feet
Chapped lips from sucking up and giving in
Everything they told me not to get myself involved with
Everything they told me not to I got myself involved in
Between you and I, I'm oblivious to the rules
I thought if I played the game I'd pick them up along the way
If my current state of mind is any indication, I'm sure it's clear I don't have any idea what I was thinking
(And I've got) bruised hands from redecorating the walls
Sore throat from proving I can be louder than you
Everything they told me not to get myself involved with
Everything they told me not to I got myself involved in
Now I'm begging and I don't even know who to
If this is some kind of test I could've used some notice
Guess if there were signs, I misunderstood direction
Yeah I know they told me but they never knew you like I knew you
Everything they told me not to get myself involved in
(Carpet burns from crawling to your feet)
Everything they told me not to get myself involved in
(Chapped lips from sucking up and giving in)
Everything they told me not to get myself involved in
(Bruised hands from redecorating the walls)
Everything they told me not to I got myself involved in
(Sore throat from proving I can be louder than you)
