Ode to Destruction - Frank Iero, The Future Violents

[Verse 1]

I've thought enough for both of us, but I barely said a word

Been back and forth a thousand times hoping not to lose

And I know I should take it slow

But I've never followed suit

And this ache you gave, it dies with me

This time I'm finally through

I wish it wasn't true

[Verse 2]

And so it goes

I may wish I'd disappear

Let the record slow

As the distance grows, it's like I always feared

I never gave enough and I never wanted to but still I think of you

[Refrain]

Would you waste some time on me?

Am I a waste of time?

[Verse 3]

If you're around next year, even for a day

Would you show your face?

And lay those eyes on me

'Cause I'm a sight to see

I survived so much on my own

That you'll bite your tongue

[Bridge]

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

We're deaf to those that tell us truths

That we don't wanna hear

So here's to those that wish us well

The rest can go to hell

Life's a waste without you and me

Life's a waste without you and me

[Outro]

I don't wanna be

Yeah, I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be that way

Never gettin' rid

No, you're never gettin' rid

Never gettin' rid of me

And so it goes
