Let's start a riot
I didn't mean to do this.
To us.
Every single day.
I beat myself up.
Is there something I Could have said or done?
To make you stay?
Should I have shut the fuck up?
And stayed away?
I just
wish we knew
what it was
that i could do.
I just
wish i saw
why we didn't
go too far.
Are you listening when i say let's start a riot?
You know I don't like you to be around when it gets quiet.
Are you listening when I say that we should try it?
Are you hearing me when I say let's start a riot?
I know;
We ended long ago.
But there's something still there.
It doesn't;
really have to mean;
that you still care.
If this is want you want;
then treat me cruel.
If this is what you like;
I'll put up with abuse.
If this is what you need;
then come and give it to me.
(Chorus x2)
I know;
This is the final chapter;
in this book.
The ending of our story;
no happy endings;
but give it a look.
And when you come inside;
i still wanna hide;
but i can't run away.
And now it seems to me;
all i thought we'd be
is just fading away.
So are you listening when i say let's start a riot?
I don't like thing getting awfully quiet.
So build me up;
Break me down;
let's just get around this.
Hey pay attention cause I wanna start a riot.
To us.
Every single day.
