I've [bad word] to terms 
With bridges I have burned 
We all make mistakes 

We keep preparing for the worst 
So it won't seem adverse 
Just like we rehearsed 

Click, two, three, heartbreaking music 
So close to loss we use it 

How much honesty's healthy 
Say what's on your mind 
The only way to be 

The [bad word] are only for dessert 
Do your homework first 
We don't administer the cure for that thirst 

'Cause it's always been heartbreaking music 
So close to death we use it 
Killing 

Writing this over and over 
It will never mend

I am the jest malignant cell 
Playwright to your [bad word] 
I think I knew you well 

But I wish I were as smart as you 
I could I have changed your mind 
Would of, should of, the question 'til I die 

But it's always been heartbreaking music 
So close to life we abuse it 
Killing
