It's a trap to bring me back to you
I can say its been long enough,
Been long enough here with you
She'll never know you like I do
Poor babe, a life without you
And I'm breathing, I'm breathing, I'm holding her close
Sealing up that flow, it goes back home
Well you know that she loves you but that's not saying enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
Well I know that the bridge you made ain't strong enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
I'm not saying, but I'm explaining we're through with you
That there's nobody backing you
That no one wants to keep track of you, hear your point of view
One day it'll all come back on you
That taste that you never choose to refuse
That blade that was never sharp before
That bridge that closes all the doors
Well you know that she loves you but that's not saying enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
Well I know that the path you carved ain't wide enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
"Bring him back, bring him back to me," she said
Holding pages from a diary that's better left unread or torn to shreds
"Killing me, my only fantasy,
Is a man whose right to live is slipping faster
Every day in which he breathes"
Well you know that she loves you but that's not saying enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
Well I know that the bridge you made ain't strong enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
Well I know that the path you carved ain't wide enough
You don't get off easy, you don't get off easy
