Oxymoron Lyrics

I could have been patient Could have worked out my act

And if I did it again

There's some things I'd take back

Maybe put down the poison

Maybe pick up the slack

Maybe give affirmation

Maybe limit some stress

Now it's up to me to pick up the mess

You're under the influence and on the attack

Is it me that you have to turn your cheek to

Is it me when good intentions fall through

Is it me when you can't say

We'd both be better off if I didn't stay

Cuz every time, every line Leads me back to you

Remember the time that you wanted me dead

You told all your friends that you'd rip off my head

I'll carve up the walls just to count down the days

Fighting for peace as I dig my own grave

Now it's up to me to pick up the mess

You're under the influence and on the attack

Is it me that you have to turn your cheek to

Is it me when good intentions fall through

Is it me when you can't say

We'd both be better off if you didn't stay

Cuz every time, every line Leads me back to you

It's my tendency for me to up and leave

So you start chasing me

And actin' like it's

Your prerogative

To be derogative

It's demeaning, we lost all meaning

Now it's up to me to pick up the mess

You're under the influence and on the attack

Is it me that you have to turn your cheek to

Is it me when good intentions fall through

Ain't fucked up, we can't say

We'd both be better off if we both didn't stay

Cuz every time, every line leads me back to you

It's my tendency for me to up and leave

So you start chasing me

And actin' like it's

Your prerogative

To be derogative

It's so demeaning, we lost all meaning
