lyrics

I wanna know who you are now, and I wanna where you've been.
Cuz somehow you found your way into my life again,
but, my friend--everything was changed the day you left.

Look. I know everybody's got their reasons,
and I probably shouldn't blame you for leavin'
But I do anyway, and every day without ya,
has got me feeling like the Phantom of the fuckin' opera.
Mask on, dead inside to this world a legend,
So I'm just dying through my music 'til this world is heaven.
I know hell, I know well now, where I have been,
so I know how quickly violins can turn to violence.

Ohhh you're so predictable.
You were so quick to go, when you were needed most.

But here we are now and where'd you go then?
And were you gonna come back home?
How am I supposed to feel when you hold that over what's real?
Like you don't know who to love, and I don't know what to say,
and then I choke and it comes: you put your self-love over your blood. Now you in trouble with us--welcome to trust.
Some day we'll all bleed to dust, and what's left?

Ohhh you're so predictable.
You were so quick to go when you were needed most.
Ohhh it's just a ritual.
I'll be the first to say, "You need me the most."

So how am I supposed to feel about it?
Everything changed the day you left.
And you know--you left a mess.
But now I know what to expect: nothing at all.
Nothing all.

The way I see it, now it's over.
So don't ask me to be open to it later--this is closure.
And you can take your jabs, but I'ma stick and move cuz,
Ohhh you're so predictable.
And now it's written cold words--something pivotal.
It's crazy how you fit the mold and I just didn't know,
and now I know a real monster's nothin' fictional,
and since I know the way you act, I'm trippin' that this isn't over.
You're so predictable.
