Breaking every rule for you.  
Crossing every line. It's fine. 
You asked me if I'd die for you,  
but I don't feel like this life is mine. 

I lit the match but you made it burn. 
Don't think I'll ever get a turn 
to make you hurt 
like you hurt me. 

Is it ignorance or apathy?  
Either you don't know that I love you, 
or you don't care that I do. 
Breaking all our symmetry. 
Say you want me, but won't look at me. 
Your careless knife runs through. 

Learned to be a little smaller. 
I chipped the paint right on the wall where 
I blended in. 

I don't know if you notice me. 
I don't know if you forget that I'm around, 
until I wish you did. 

Is it ignorance or apathy?  
Either you don't know that I love you, 
or you don't care that I do. 
Breaking all our symmetry. 
Say you want me, but won't look at me. 
Your careless knife runs through.  
Your careless knife runs through.   

Bleeding in, and bleeding out. 
Used to love you without a doubt, 
now all I know is how to live without. 
Your careless knife bites my skin. 
I wish I never let you in. 
Love's a game I never win. 

Is it ignorance or apathy? 
Either you don't know that I love you, 
or you don't care that I do.
