Lyrics
I'm scared (oh-oh-oh)It feels like you don't care (ooh-ooh)Enlighten me, my dear (ooh-ooh-ooh)Why am I still here? Mm (oh-oh)I don't mean to beComplacent with the decisions you madeBut why? Mm
In the back of my mind, you diedAnd I didn't even cryNo, not a single tearAnd I'm sick of waiting patientlyFor someone that won't even arrive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
In the back of my mind, I killed youAnd I didn't even regret itI can't believe I said itBut it's trueI hate you
