The Cut And Run Routine

Dashboard Confessional · Alter The Ending [2009]

So, I've seen the truth is

That you've been leaving

Since the day you showed.

Oh well,

I've seen your little cut and run routine

Enough times now to have it memorized.



So there's no surprises

Oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess

But it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party

For a cold and lonely girl



With the sights set on the big exit

With a chase and a catch and some makeup sex

So it feels a bit less lonely

For a cold and lonely girl



So

I could see the angles you play

And I've been your games

Since the day you showed.

Oh well

I've had you about as much I wanted

Enough times now to have it memorized



So there's no surprises

Oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess

But it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party

For a cold and lonely girl



With the sights set on the big exit

With a chase and a catch and some makeup sex

So it feels a bit less lonely

For a cold and lonely girl



All I ever wanted for you

Was to stand on your own

All I ever wanted for you

Was to stand on your own



So there's no surprise

Its so sad enough to be a fine mess

But its shaping up to be a cold and lonely party

For a cold and lonely girl



With the sights set on the big exit

With a chase and a catch and some makeup sex

So it feels a bit less lonely

For a cold and lonely girl

So it feels a bit less lonely

For a cold and lonely girl

So it feels a bit less lonely

For a cold and lonely girl

Like you
