Ruin It Alkaline Trio

[Verse 1]
I've waited a long time for this life
Just to ruin it, so please don't ruin this for me
Yes, I understand this lie, hell, I crossed those T's
I scratched out all these eyes myself last night
When I promised not to fight

[Verse 2]
So this is what I'm looking like these days
I'm all grown up, so full of hate
But I don't want to let go of my rage
'Cause it's the salt that brings the taste
So where am I if you decide that I'm not right?

[Chorus]
'Cause I might break and I might bend
Your heartstrings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day, on my best day, if you stick around

[Verse 3]
Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?
Am I being too careful, does this seem right?
Did I open up the shades to expose the sun in rays?
To show what's burned there inside
Yeah, take a close look, hold me right up to the light
