lyrics

How was I supposed to react when someone I love asks a question like that?
You put me on trial, I scoffed and I smiled but it hasn’t been the same since.
Chances are that you don’t remember, after all it was last November
but I can’t turn the page on this private rage and it hasn’t been the same since.

I’m trying so hard to like you and I shouldn’t have to try at all.
I’m so scared to move on without you but I know I don’t need you at all.
Turns out that I can hold a grudge!
 I guess this grudge won’t budge.

How stupid to try and compare the places we go and the paths we take there.
To look down on mine is simply asinine and it hasn’t been the same since.
I could ask you the same thing indeed, I could ask “what about your dreams?”
but I’m polite and you can eat shite because it hasn’t been the same since.

We tried take the world by storm
but you’ve gone cold and I’m still warm
and though it hurts to say the truth:
I’m better off without you.

I’m trying so hard to like you and I shouldn’t have to try at all.
I’m so scared to move on without you but I know I don’t need you at all.
Turns out that I can hold a grudge! 
I guess this grudge won’t budge.

I have a scrapbook inside my head and I can’t help the fact you’re on every page.
But looking back now, I can’t see the light. I only see red, I am Jack’s burning rage.

Rage...
