Lyrics

Close e nough to start a war,

all that I have is on the floor.

God on ly knows what we’re fight ing for,

all that I say, you al ways say more.

I can’t keep up with your turn ing ta bles; un der your thumb, I can’t breathe.

So I won’t let you close e nough to hurt me.

No I won’t res cue you to just de sert me.

I can’t give you

what you think you gave me.

It’s time to say good bye

to turn ing ta bles,

to turn ing ta bles.

Next time, I’ll be brav er, I’ll be my own sav ior when the thun der calls for me.

Next time, I’ll be brav er, I’ll be my own sav ior, stand ing on my own two feet.
