E/A Dsus2
So you wrote it down I’m supposed to care
E Esus
Even though it’s never there
Dsus2*
Sorry if I’m not prepared
E/A Dsus2
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
E Esus
For me and all my thoughts of you
Dsus2*
It’s eating me alive to leave you

E/A Dsus2
I’m breathing in your skin tonight
E Esus
Quiet is my loudest cry
D*
Wouldn’t want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
E/A Dsus2
And if it’s healthier to leave you be
E Esus
May your sickness come and set me free
Dsus2*
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me

A5 C#5 D5
I’m writing my own words, my own little stage
E5 A5
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
C#5 D5
I’ll send you the rough draft, I’ll seal it with tears
E5 N.C.
Maybe you’ll read it and I’ll reappear
A5 C#5 D5
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
E5 A5
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
C#5 D5
Oh, I haven’t even sought to overcome this desire
E5 D Dm
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles
A E F#m D
And I don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong
A E Dsus2
You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this song
A E F#m D
Don’t want to be, don’t want to be wro- -ong
A E Dsus2
You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this song

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

Like Saturday night I’ll be go- -one

Like Saturday night I’ll be gone before you knew that I was there

| According to dictionary.com (and most english speaking persons) the idiom "in lieu of" means "in place of" or "instead of." It seems to me that the songwriter thought lieu meant something entirely different, since "you're leaving me in lieu of this song" makes no sense. How the heck would one leave a song?! | |

| Dude, so far there is no person that has EVER hated this band. Everything is awesome, vocals, guitars, VIOLIN (including the player, he's tight, he does flips on stage), and sweeeeeet lyrics. I mean they're so great. My favorite part is the part... I'm breathing in your skin tonight quiet is my loudest cry wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside and if its healthier to leave you be may a sickness come and set me free kill me while i still believe that you were meant for me That's so beautiful, i really really wish i could sing/write like this guy does, man i envy him ;) | |

| This song touches me alot, I'm currently enduring a very tough breakup right now and all I can say is they sing what my heart has been telling me. These guys put words to feelings so well. I love them | |

| This song is so good.. it really really is.. but like really tho, most of u are prolly thinkn "and if its healthier to leave you be may a sickness come and set me free kill me while i still believe that you were meant for me " how poetic... but lemme tell u wut. this song takes poetry to the next level, this song's an extended metaphor about a porno. and THAT is his epic drama ;) | |
