Connect The Dots

It was my persistence, wasn't it? A lack of trust you won't admit I'll never settle now or before I wrote a thousand songs because of it Curse my choices, bite my lip A hundred ripped up notes I'm living with your ghost This is a cold hard punch to the chest This is the worst, the worst that it gets Feels like a cheap shot right to the jaw A perfect time for you to take what you came here for I can't connect the dots, won't connect them to you anymore It was my lack of charm, wasn't it? Or the guilt I wrap around my neck I'm running out of ways to move on It's my heart that burns of wickedness I stole your youth and ran with it I'm hearing on repeat the sounds of defeat A cold hard punch to the chest This is the worst, the worst that it gets Feels like a cheap shot right to the jaw A perfect time for you to take what you came here for I can't connect the dots, won't connect them to you anymore And this all would've worked if I just would've been open Life cuts deep enough when the trust is broken We'd come far enough, you're too light for us You can't be, can't be over it A cold hard punch to the chest This is the worst, the worst that it gets Feels like a cheap shot right to the jaw A perfect time for you to take what you came here for It was my persistence, wasn't it? A lack of trust you won't admit I'll never settle now or before It's my heart that burns of wickedness I stole your youth and ran with it It's time for you to take what you came here for I can't connect the dots, won't connect them to you I can't connect the dots, won't connect them to you anymore
