Grind My Teeth

lyrics

Well I’d rather hold you in my heart than never hold you again
So I will fill the ground beneath my boots with wood, iron, and steel
And I’ll tune every piece to hit every note dead on
So when I drag my feet it’ll play our song

Now I don’t believe every word you've burned was truly meant for me
Don’t take them back, don’t apologize
Just don’t bring them here again
I’ll take every word that you've spit at me and put them on the tip of my tongue
So when I grind my teeth it’ll play our song

So I wish I could you here my dear only like a lover should
But I cannot wish for such sweet, sweet, things I know you've got a man at home
He doesn’t know a thing about me and you and I don’t think it’s wrong
So when we’re breaking his heart it’s going to play our song

So I’d rather hold you in my heart than never hold you again
So I will fill the ground beneath my boots with wood, iron, and steel
And I’ll tune every piece to hit every note dead on
So when I drag my feet it’ll play our song
