Rip It Off

Verse 1 Don’t whisper the truth like it’s some fragile thing I can feel the cut every time you hesitate You keep pulling slow like you’re doing me a favor But the longer you wait the deeper it gets Pre-Chorus I’ve had enough of the careful lies Chorus Rip the bandage off fast get it over with Don’t stand there shaking with your delicate hands Lift one edge don’t think twice No use picking at it just rip it off tonight 2x Verse 2 I see it in your eyes before the words come out like thunder rolling through a silent minds We both know the truth sitting under the skin So don’t make it slow let the hurt begin Pre-Chorus I’d rather the sting than the waiting game Chorus Rip the bandage off fast get it over with Don’t stand there shaking with your delicate hands Lift one edge don’t think twice No use picking at it just rip it off tonight Bridge (half-time, gritty) Pain’s just a moment dragging it out is worse Go on — tear it free and let it burn first Final Chorus Rip the bandage off fast let the blood run clean Better a sharp cut than a slow-burn scene Lift one edge look me in the eye No use picking at it just rip it off — goodbye
