Warning Bell from bitter bright by Loud in the Pines

You left in such a rush
The ice is still cold in your glass
I sit and watch it melt
My head ringing with your laugh
Bitter-bright you smiled at me
Like I failed another test
"If you won't give me anything,
I guess this is for the best"
And you won't give me anything

I gave you chances
What more could you want
You were my advantage, my confidant

Once you saved a seat for me
I didn't have to wait for scraps
I'd rather spend tonight alone
'Cause I can't watch as you relapse
Your sharpened tongue still takes my breath
Tears are freezing on my face
What a fool I was to think you'd change

Of all the friends I’ve known
I thought you would understand
The ruins you want to explore
Will smother every spark you have
Even if you think me cruel
I’d listen to the warning bell
Love’s a liability
Best to look out for yourself
You won’t give me anything

I’m out of chances
What else did you want
There’s too much damage to carry on

I’ll say the words you’ll hate me for saying
I’ll dirty my hands while you just sit there praying
I’ve seen how this world breaks down everything true
So I’ll take the blame but I do it for you

I’ll say the words you’ll hate me for saying
I’ll dirty my hands while you just sit there praying
(You'll dirty your hands, so I will keep on praying)
I’ve seen how this world breaks down everything true
So I’ll take the blame but I do it for you

You won’t give me anything
What more could you want
What else did you want

What more could you want
What else did you want
