lyrics

your hands were broken
but you wouldn't cry out
as we tore your heart apart

should i thought of you with sadness?
(such small, small, price to pay)

but you should have known better
oh, i admit to no wrong!

you should have understood
i had no choice, no choice

all winter
you told me, "it's never enough to stay still"

i thought you'd be proud of me
should i spell it out, spell it out now?

you'll never be good enough
so i'm getting out, getting out
