to the bone

Intro

(Yeah-yee-uh-yee-uh-yee-uh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Verse 1

Saw your picture by mistake today

You're smiling like you never knew my name

I washed my hands of you a thousand times

But the stain of us still lingers in my mind

I gave you every hour that I owned

You gave me silence colder than a stone

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wish you pain, I don't wish you sorrow

I just hope you feel me in your bones tomorrow

When she says your name, I hope it tastes like mine

And nothing in this world can make it right

Chorus

So here's my "fuck you" wrapped in grace and melody

I loved you truly, you were everything to me

But you broke the only heart that begged you just to stay

So I hope it haunts you, darling, 'til your dying day

This isn't anger burning through a sad cliché

It's just the sound of someone who has nothing left to say

But "fuck you" ...in the most elegant way

Verse 2

You said forever like you meant it from the start

Now forever is a knife between my ribs in the dark

I don't cry for you, I cry for who I was

The girl who thought your empty words were love

Bridge

One day I'll be a scar you can't explain

A sudden ache when you hear my name in the rain

And when you close your eyes, I'll be standing there

A ghost of what you lost... in your own despair

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wish you pain, I don't wish you sorrow

I just hope you feel me in your bones tomorrow

When she says your name, I hope it tastes like mine

And nothing in this world can make it right

Chorus

So here's my "fuck you" wrapped in grace and melody

I loved you truly, you were everything to me

But you broke the only heart that begged you just to stay

So I hope it haunts you, darling, 'til your dying day

This isn't anger burning through a sad cliché

It's just the sound of someone who has nothing left to say

But "fuck you" ...in the most elegant way

Outro

So here's my "fuck you" ...

...goodbye, my almost love

Goodbye.
