lyrics

I do not tend to dwell
When I get out of hell
But sometimes it's worth a moment
Just to really own it

I do not empathize
With that fake look in your eyes
In fact I see right through it
And I always knew it

You deserve a medal you deserve a prize
You deserve a trophy for your tepid lies
You deserve to wake up first thing tomorrow morning
On the concrete with a hard rain pouring

I do not want you back
Any more than I want a heart attack
That's kind of what you were
So do you know what you deserve

You deserve a medal you deserve a prize
You deserve a trophy for your tepid lies
You deserve to wake up first thing tomorrow morning
On the concrete with a hard rain pouring

I never tried to hurt you
Or make you feel unhappy
That's why I'm so confused
You treated me so crappy
