Heartless Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For once my eyes are open to you and everything you've said
For once your web of lies is in the open

I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left
Now, still you act as if I'm just a burden, I've finally let go!

[Pre-Chorus]
Let go, let go!

[Chorus]
Stay silent at least for now
And let me move on, 'cause I'm so done
Playing these games with my heart, I've been around the world
And back for you, and now it's time to choose

[Verse 2]
I've been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life
I'm damaged from the inside, I've been broken
Don't threaten me with what you think I feel
If you could read my mind, you'd be in tears

[Breakdown]
I'm sick of your excuses you hold above me
I've finally come to terms with what I am
I'm nothing in your eyes, and this will not change
I'm living in a dream
[Chorus]
Stay silent at least for now
And let me move on, 'cause I'm so done
Playing these games with my heart, I've been around the world
And back for you, and now it's time to choose

[Bridge]
And I'll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
When I'll be finally past this and I'll be happy on my own
I've done all I can, and I've still been cast aside, all I ever wanted to
Be was be the one who would wipe tears from your eyes, but I
Guess I'll play second best, to a world that will never care about
You, you'll never understand, you're just another pretty face
You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away

[Spoken Bridge]
You never did know how to whisper...

[Outro]
You're such a liar, tell me the truth!
You're such a liar, tell me the truth!
You're such a liar, tell me the truth!
Do the world a favor, stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat!

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

One of ADTR’s most heaviest songs they’ve ever written. This song is about the constant struggle of a girl treating him like trash and using him and making him feel like he’s always in second place. He’s practicality her journal. He only matters when she wants him too. If you have an ex-girl friend that you hate. Tell her to listen to this.
