Failing Grade

We've only heard of such betrayal through rumor before

(You've beaten the floor now we've finally had enough)

Until you showed up tucked alone at our front door

(To storm in and blow in and break straight through the mud)

The juggling saddle's been cut to call your bluff

And this time I won't be dragged through the wreckage and blood

We've seen this all before

There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink

To see the truth compared to this mess you've made

Maybe someday I'll wake up from this fantasy

And then we'll be too late for you to elevate this failing grade

I know it frightens you to finally see the truth

(That love, hate, and anguish was only a waste of time)

But if you only knew the vice she had on you

(It twisted and tightened my grip on your swifting life)

A new chance to exercise our calming right

A clean slate, a promise forged on the fire and blight

We've seen this all before

There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink

To see the truth compared to this mess you've made

Maybe someday I'll wake up from this fantasy

And then we'll be too late for you to elevate your gain

And save this failing grade

We've seen this all before

There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink

To see the truth compared to this mess you've made

Maybe someday I'll wake up from this fantasy

And then we'll be too late for you to elevate this failing grade

There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink

To see the truth compared to this mess you've made

Maybe someday I'll wake up from this fantasy

And then we'll be too late for you to elevate this failing grade
