The way you operate

The way you operate

straight to the bone

straight to the bone



And everything you say

and everything you say

it leaves me alone

it leaves me alone



the way you compromise

its like pulling out my eyes

my eyes

and you say

that everything i do

it bounces off of you

with everything i say



the way you operate

the way you operate

straight to the bone

straight to the bone

and when i find my eyes

i'll cut you down to size

down to size



till then

i wander around blind

bumping into signs

and falling on my face



the way i think you'll take

So i guess im breakin it

everytime i open my mouth

and i cant live it down



and i think you know it

so i guess im blowin it

everytime i open my mouth

and i cant live it down

the stupid things i'll say under the knife

sometimes the words i say dont come out right

so all the things i wanted you to hear

when i said

i said
