Faint - Lontalius

Oh, you know me

I’m a killer

I let feelings come and go

I said I’d let you win

But you figured I might be doing this all for show

And I’m surely not the first one

And I’m surely not the last

To be bringing the best ones right down with me

And then I might fall through the cracks

But I knew you could be cruel

I knew you could be faint

And I knew all of us would lie bleeding when in your wake

But I’ll find a record now

To make sense of it all somehow

I knew you could be faint

Oh, you knew me

In the winter

Taking our coats off at the door

And hoping you’d watch me, I brought you a present

I’d never done that before

And I’m surely not the first one

And I’m surely not the last

To come crawling out the wreckage

Feeling sorry I ever asked

But I knew you could be cruel

I knew you could be faint

And I knew all of us would lie bleeding when in your wake

But I’ll find a record now

To make sense of it all somehow

I knew you could be faint

I’m battered on the outside

These bruises that won’t heal

I’d rather be on the bright side

Than leave your heart to steal
