The Hangman Lyrics


These ears don't deserve the things
You've been feeding them
It's no wonder that you've never done a thing
I wish you'd never talk at all
These walls talk more than we ever will
I could get used to this world
Standing oh so still
So hedge my bets and stand my ground
I'll never talk at all
'Cause sometimes, sometimes
Hate can be so beautiful
Hate can be so beautiful
Oh please, oh please, just let me be
Accused, accused of everything
Oh please, oh please, just let me bleed
Abused, abused left with nothing
I can see through your hate
Your words twist our fate

With you it's never easy
Oh please, oh please, just let me be
Accused, accused of everything
This skin ripped up again with lips chapped up
From a long night's stake don't mean anything
I wish you'd never leave at all
Our sheets covered in sweat again
I could get used to this heat
Our hearts are beating through our chests
Unto your breath, I wish you'd never stop at all
'Cause sometimes, sometimes
Hate can be so beautiful
Hate can be so beautiful
Oh please, oh please, just let me be
Accused, accused of everything
Oh please, oh please, just let me bleed
Abused, abused left with nothing
I can see through your hate
Your words twist our fate
With you it's never easy
Oh please, oh please, just let me be
Accused, accused of everything
Accused, accused of everything
Accused, accused of everything
Spread until you break
Spread until you break
And put those filthy hands back
In those dirty pockets
Spread until you ache
Spread until you ache
And put those filthy hands back
In those dirty pockets
And wipe those lips baby
And wipe those lips baby
We know they've been everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere
Oh please, oh please, just let me be
Accused, accused of everything
Oh please, oh please, just let me bleed
Abused, abused left with nothing
I can see through your hate
Your words twist our fate
With you it's never easy
Oh please, oh please, just let me be
Accused, accused of everything
Accused, accused of everything
Accused, accused of everything
