Stupid Romance, Still Me

[Verse 1]
Every time I open up
It turns to ash
Then dust
You call me sick for caring
I call it faith in us
Cut my teeth on empty vows
Cracked halos on the floor
But I still drag my bruised heart
Right back to your front door
[Chorus]
Even when it's pain and hate
I know there's pain
I know there's fate
Stupid romance
Stupid hope
Tie my hands with a burning rope
You can break and bury me
I still bleed for the big ugly dream
I will keep me
I won't run
Stupid romance
I'm not done (hey!)
[Verse 2]
You laugh at all my soft parts
Say I'm built to break
But I'd rather be wide open
Than hollow and awake
Yeah my scars still spell your name
In shaky jagged lines
I wear them like a jacket
In a world that loves to lie
[Bridge]
Spit in my face
I still won't harden
Heart like a stray
Living in your garden (oh yeah)
Hurt me again
I'll scream your name
But I won't trade
All this hurt
Just to feel the same
[Chorus]
Even when it's pain and hate
I know there's pain
I know there's fate
Stupid romance
Stupid hope
Tie my hands with a burning rope
You can break and bury me
I still bleed for the big ugly dream
I will keep me
I won't run
Stupid romance
I'm not done
