lyrics

With baited breath
she says that she's leaving
She says that she's skipping town

If I were there
asleep in the passenger seat
breathing the same air
If I could care
how many witnesses
could possibly believe
Well I don't know

Is she going crazy or am I the only one
Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun
Why are you still here
We're lying through the night about our greatest fears
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She's singing why am I still here
Why am I so feared

She slips off her dress
and says that she's leaping
She says that she wont be found

Ascending the stairs
She looks like she's dead asleep
She looks like she's been ensnared
The trap was set for someone else
The trap was set for me
but I wont know
I wont know what hit me

Is she going crazy or am I the only one
Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun
Why are you still here
We're lying through the night about our greatest fears
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She's singing why am I still here
Why am I so feared

She's so beautiful
when you finish your cup
So terrible
in your conscience when you wake up
You've done nothing wrong
I think you might have
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She says that she's done nothing wrong
I think she might have

You think that you've done nothing wrong
I think you might have

Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She's singing why am I still here
Why am I still here
Is she going crazy or am I the only one
Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun
Why am I still here
