staircase  wit  -  neck  deep

the  feeling  starts  to  sink  in,

but  it's  beginning  to  rust,

still  hanging  onto  the  things  that  we  discussed,

but  the  point  that  was  made  isn't  said  and  done...

now  the  sun  shines  so  bright

but  it  won't  shine  for  you,

you  remind  me  of  rain  in  july

and  the  gloom  that  i  felt  for  a  year,

and  the  clouds  are  always  shaped  just  like  you

but  there's  a  parting  light...

i  always  told  you  that  someday

i  would  be  packing  my  bags

and  i  would  be  on  my  way,

you  always  laughed  in  my  face,

and  made  the  world  seem  so  grey,

lay  in  the  bed  you  made

so  i  can  finally  say  that  i'm  fine,

you  can  just  say  "whatever,"

i  won't  change  my  mind

'cuz  i  know  that  i'm  better  off,

but  i  am  cursed  with  a  staircase  wit,

always  find  the  words

when  it's  too  late  to  let  them  slip

don't  judge  me  on  my  bad  habits,

i  could  pick  out  every  flaw  of  yours,

and  unearth  all  your  imperfections.

beneath  the  surface  i  have  seen,

the  ugly  truth  behind  the  beauty  queen...

i  always  told  you  that  someday

i  would  be  packing  my  bags

and  i  would  be  on  my  way,

you  always  laughed  in  my  face,

and  made  the  world  seem  so  grey,

lay  in  the  bed  you  made

so  i  can  finally  say  that  i'm  fine,

you  can  just  say  "whatever,"

i  won't  change  my  mind

'cuz  i  know  that  i'm  better  off,

but  i  am  cursed  with  a  staircase  wit,

always  find  the  words

when  it's  too  late  to  let  them  slip

held  it  back,

lost  the  nerve,

was  too  scared  to  talk  when  you  gave  me  your  hand

and  you  gave  me  your  heart,

when  you  should  have  kept  it  to  yourself

you  should  have  kept  it

you  should  have  kept  it  kept  it  to  yourself

i  wish  you'd  kept  it  to  yourself
