[Verse 1]
You shouldn't wait
You couldn't walk
It wasn't written out in chalk
It wasn't fate
It's not divine
The lacerations in your spine

[Pre-Chorus]
But that's no excuse
I could have been so much better for you

[Chorus]
You should take it out on me
But you won't take it out on me
You should hate the water
You should hate the world

You need to cut me out
Because I'll only let you down
And you deserve attention
I can't give you that

[Verse 2]
It shouldn't be that every week
I'm thinking promises I can't keep
Well that's not fair
That's not right
'Cause you're not sleeping much at night
But I'm no good use
I should have been so much better for you

And all I've done in half a year
Is send one letter out of here
On your birthday, September's end
And I haven't sent again
Because it's no use
Because I can't seem to stitch you

[Chorus]
You should take it out on me
But you won't take it out on me
You should hate the water
You should hate the world

You need to cut me out
Because I'll only let you down
And you deserve attention
I can't give you that

[Outro]
Because I'm no good use
I should have been so much better for you
