Lyrics

When you take the time to wonder why
Why you find yourself on your own
Why your way is a lonely road
Do you find yourself driving all away the ones you held so close
Because you held them accountable for making you feel so miserable?
But they're not the real problem
Given the chance to go back
What would you change?

Start with your biggest mistake
The next time you're going to point the finger
Bite your lip
Yeah baby, shut your mouth
Because there's nobody left for you to blame
Since you called everyone out
So when you hear my name and it starts to sting
Don't look at me don't look at me
Because you dug your own grave
But I've got the hammer and the nail
And I could barry you alive

I think it's time someone really opened up your eyes
You can't keep reading between the lines
Because you've run out of alibis
It's time you owned up to something
If everyone else is wrong all of the time
Maybe it's you who should change the way you view responsibility
Before you find yourself wishing you had the chance to go back
What would you change?

Start with your biggest mistake
The next time you're going to point the finger
Bite your lip
Yeah baby, shut your mouth
Because there's nobody left for you to blame
Since you called everyone out
So when you hear my name and it starts to sting
Don't look at me don't look at me
Because you dug your own grave
But I've got the hammer and the nail
And I could barry you alive
I could barry you alive

When you think of what you've lost
And you think of what it cost
You regret anything?
When you think of what you've lost
And you think of what it cost
You regret anything? you regret anything?

Bite your lip
Yeah, shut your mouth
There's no one left here to call out
Bite your lip
Yeah, shut your mouth
There's no one left here to call out

I was your biggest mistake
The next time you're going to point the finger
Bite your lip
Yeah baby, shut your mouth
Because there's nobody left for you to blame
Since you called everyone out
So when you hear my name and it starts to sting
Don't look at me don't look at me
Because you dug your own grave
But I've got the hammer and the nail
And I could bury you alive
And I could bury you alive
Yeah I could bury you alive
And I could bury you alive
