Lyrics

Well you think you know what's good for me
As if I didn't know myself
And I couldn't care less for your philosophies
Your misplaced securities

Then there's the problem with your false sympathy
To hide your selfishness
And I held my tongue for way too long
To be the bigger man

But I don't want you to play nice now
Because I'm giving it my all
It doesn't matter if you scream and shout
I can't hear you anymore

So if I tried to run, you'd chase me down
Just to prove that you could
Still you'd keep a line out for a better catch
Like an opportunist would

And all those times you held me back
Made it easier for me
To shake this silent heart attack
For the freedom to be free

And now it feels so good
To wipe that smile from your face
Turn around now
Let me see you walk away
I hope you're proud of the mess that you left behind
'Cause now I'm happy
To see you trip on your alibis

But I don't want you to play nice now
Because I'm giving it my all
It doesn't matter if you scream and shout
I can't hear you anymore

And now it feels so good
To wipe that smile from your face
Turn around now
Let me see you walk away
I hope you're proud of the mess that you left behind
'Cause now I'm happy

And now it feels so good
To wipe that smile from your face
Turn around now
Let me see you walk away
I hope you're proud of the mess that you left behind
'Cause now I'm happy
To finally see you choke on your lies
