i can tell you're angry
but that's just no excuse
and that won't stop the hand
that has to teach again
stop your violent eyes
because no one can hear
and i don't want to shout
so shut your mouth dear
i didn't mean to hit you
but you didn't learn before
and you hurt the ones you love
and the others even more

the elements can be so cruel
the embrace was delivered late
thieves will fall into the sun
when you're content with nervousness
waiting for an epiphany
and pushing the extra mile
hide your teeth from your smile

you hurt the ones you love
and the others even more

don't walk out that door
i won't bring you back home
