Pull the petals from my stem, pull at me till I'm thorns You'll take from me till I'm gone Burn myself at the altar till I'm callous as you It's all I have to offer You'll say you're sorry you've been so hard on me But there's this pattern of self-hatred that I'm starting to see You'll play this off like you always do 'Cause there's a root to our problems, and it's always been you It's always been you held me back Played out your part Your spotlight won't last Take this to heart You'll say you're sorry you've been so hard on me But there's this pattern of self-hatred that I'm starting to see You'll play this off like you always do 'Cause there's a root to our problems, and it's always been you You'll say you're sorry you've been so hard on me But there's this pattern of self-hatred that I'm starting to see You'll play this off like you always do 'Cause there's a root to our problems, and it's always been you I don't expect you to be the one to answer I don't expect you to be the one to change for me When you're gone, none of this will matter You can stay stuck like this, and I'll go on my way
